Welcome, clairtx! The swap starts around 10 AM at Trinity Park in FW. From I-30 just at the western edge of downtown, go north on University & take the very first right into the park. Follow the trail around as it winds through the park, & we'll be in a pavillion just north of the big pavillion. Don't go to the big pavillion; it's reserved for someone's family reunion! (You can tell they're not us by the lack of plants in their group!)

Do you still have some seeds?

Yes, that method is widely used in greenhouses, hoophouses and outdoors. But how much does a bag of potting soil cost? You can do the same thing by filling those white woven plastic sand bags with a landscape mix bought in bulk at a nursery center for anywhere from 25 to 45 dollars a cubic yard. I use a mix of rotted bark and wood chip fines, rotted horse stall bedding, lime and a bit of native clay loam. A neighbor farmer makes the mix in huge stockpiles and sells it for 15 dollars per "scoop" (that fills my short bed F-150 about half full) or lets me fill 5-gallon buckets for 25c each. I fill burlap sacks for tomato growbags because the burlap rots away over the season and forms the base for a new raised bed. Then the next season I just pile a new row of bags atop last season's rotted away bags. Eventually the roots grow down into the native base soil and I have a no-till bed. The rotted burlap becomes part of the mix and I don't have to clean up pieces of plastic bag. If you're growing on a concrete slab or something, the plastic sand bags might be better.

I think I read it will grow back from the stump. That I should wait and see a bunch come up and then cut it down to one or two shoots and let those grow? Just curious would it have worked better to try and grow it from a stump if the 'stump' was a 10' trunk?
