Avocado as a Container Plant III
Comments (306)antea90 - What do you mean " my avocado soil was contaminated with mold" ? Sometimes beneficial Fungi (like Mycorrhizae) will grow/live in soil. Even if you buy a new bag of soil; and don't use it right away, perhaps a couple of months, when you do finally open it, there may be a web like network of fungus on the top. People do often mistake this for mold, but in fact, it show's that your soil is teaming with life. That's a good thing! Hope your tree bounces back, good luck.

Comments (13)I have at least 2 more weeks to heat the GHs at night. Our last frost date it the 15th of April. But we can get a frost as late as the 20th. On the 20th (give or take a few days) I'll remove them to storage for the summer and we'll put the shade cloths on both GHs....See MoreI had a productive Saturday in the garden, did you?
Comments (38)I saw an ad in the local Pennysaver: Free Wood Chips. After several phone calls and sending an email, I got added to whatever list this particular tree service referred to for people who wanted free wood chips. One Saturday, about a month after I requested chips, they showed up with a nice truckload. lusty is right, many tree services will happily dump the chips in your driveway (or other easily accessible part of your yard) if you ask. I asked some guys shortly before responding to the Pennysaver ad; they mostly had tree stumps though. One thing is that they'll only give you the chips if you're willing to take the entire truckload. I think my pile was 10 cubic yards and that is a LOT of woodchips, I've filled up my whole front yard (we don't have lawn) and most of the backyard (small lawn)....See MorePics of 1 yr. old plummies grown under lights in winter
Comments (26)How long? About 3-4 years. I can't remember. I let this ensete die because it was so big. I didn't dare take it outside during the summer months because the wind would break it off. Because of this, I couldn't flush the soil with water to flush out salt build up from fertilizers and other stuff in my hard water, so it eventually went down hill. I just put it outside to finish dying a week ago. However my other 3 that I put outside during Summer are down stairs in my unlit, unheated basement room in dormancy. In the Fall, I cut them down to 5-6' stumps, repot them in 15 gallon nursery pots, and stick them in the basement till next Spring. They have large thick "trunks". I do this every year and they come back to full beauty in the Summer....See MoreTiffany, purpleinopp Z8b Opp, AL
