Soaking roses before planting?
Comments (2)If they are in a gallon pot of soil, they just need watered in the pot, planted, and watered in. :-) Do not remove the soil if possible, you will likely damage feeder roots. BTW, it's not *that* huge of a deal if you do accidentally damage the feeder roots - they come back. Sometimes the soil falls off when you are planting (I hate that!), but the rose usually makes it through just fine with good care. I have soaked the whole pot when I bought some roses on sale that were very dehydrated - but that's an exceptional case where soaking was obviously needed.

Comments (5)I need to retract this post! I just watched the video we made of the mechanicals in the house before we closed up the basement ceiling, and the duct is the rigid kind. So I guess we can go ahead with any type of cleaning we want! Thanks for the commments and advice. I've found a chimney sweep to do this initial cleaning and then perhaps I can manage it on my own. I've purchased a product at Menards which has a dryer duct cleaning 4" diameter brush that attaches to a 20" flexible rod so I can snake it to one end and pull it pull it back out again to loosen everything up. Only $14.99. Then I guess I'll use the leaf blower to send it all outside....See MorePaws....and blue moon) Have I asked this before?
Comments (5)Hi clareanon just on the the rose Best Friend--I bought this rose last year covered in beautiful fragrant blooms. I then transfered it to a very large container and while it grew well the blooms didnt appear again. I bought it towards the end of the season. Does yours have many blooms thru the season or is it a rose that flowers once or twice and thats it? Thanks Michelle...See MoreVented compact dryer - what to do before installing
Comments (7)wdccruise/dadoes - thank you but I’ll most likely get someone else to do it mxk3 - for a number of reasons, main ones being that I miss the efficiency of a vented dryer and I hate the way the dryer adds heat to the apartment. We originally had a Miele stacked, vented unit that was superb. They worked beautifully until the dryer gave up after 15years. Miele couldn’t fix it and recommended we “upgrade“ to their new ventless model. They also recommended we replace the washer although we had no issue with it. As we’ve always used Miele in different countries and trusted their appliances we went with their new ventless dryer/washer combo (t8023/w3038) despite misgivings about a ventless unit in an nyc apartment. The washer is fine but the dryer is frustrating to use as it takes longer to dry clothes, adds heat to the apartment and generates a layer of fluff/lint into the apartment. The dryer broke down 4 times in the first year of use and they replaced it. Their customer service was also very disappointing. I seem to have gone off on vent (!) about Miele when you only asked why we were planning to switch back! Hope I answered your question anyway...See Moreac91z6
