Sorry I didn't get back to you, I have been working on my roses. I usually feed them whenever I water them. Since they don't have soil, they need the nutriments. I never clean the clay balls and you don't have to change the water because you are filling the pot and only about 1 inch of water stays on the bottom. This filters up and waters and feeds the plants as needed. Since the containers are see-through, I just put more water in when the reservoir starts going down. Some people do flush with plain water occasionally but I haven't found that necessary. It is interesting that the roots grow right into the water and it doesn't faze them. I do not like the round clay pellets but I can't mention where I go because they get upset here so if you are interested I can email you the site. You do not have to wait for the plant to be rootbound either. Mine are usually blooming within a month or two. Here is a link that might be useful:

Thank you so much for all your kind words and thoughts. I go from total disbelief and denial to being brought to my knees with the truth of it. It's a loss we'll all feel for the rest of our days. Coe was really beyond something special and we are all better people for having known her. Sooz

Hi!s & Hug!s Me too, so happy to see you back here where you belong cause "we like you"! And nice to know you don't have to worry about that fireplace anymore, lol. What fun it must be taking refinishing classes! I just got some furniture from my mother's estate and want to refinish them darker wood tones for my home. I'd be thrilled to see your projects and learn from you! We should all start a refinish thread in the Gallery to help each other! Want to? May I wish you courage to be happy "Your Way"! Welcome Home.

No microwave, either! Congratulations on your flip!!! It used to be that the refrigerator left the house with the previous owner when moving, so I was quite surprised when we moved this last time. We had planned to use the fridge in our pantry until our realtor said the fridge stays with the house. 🤔 Anyway, we left our very nice fridge. Heard from the new owners that it died promptly 2 months after we moved out. Oooops! Glad that we did not go through the trouble of storing it for the new house.
