hi, first i am new to brugs. at the round up this year poppysue, crested chick and padre all contributed to my new collection. oy vey!!!!! i've been reading up but i have a question or two. my larger ones are in 1 gallon pots and need to be transplanted up. should i do that now or when? second, i have some organic potting mix with manure in it, is this ok to use?
i've been fighting the bugs but have sprayed them down now with gardens alive bio-guard, pyrola sp? hope it helps.
thanks debi z
potting soil with manure ok?
The organic potting mix with manure should be okay. It's a commercial brand right? Already composted?
Should be fine to move the ones in gallon pots up, are they well rooted?
Plant them up if they are ready for they will grow faster for you Debi.
You are in 6a. Potting now in short summer - always will be better.
I repott all my brugs in summertime. The rootgrowing is much better.
I also use manure in my soil. Donīt destroy the rootball while repotting.
thanks everyone. i'll just have to find those 5-7 gallon containers i need now. i read that 14" x 12" pots are best. is this written in blood? ;-)
