Sometimes I remember to use it, sometimes, not. I like to spread out, putting potting soil in several pots at a time. Plus, I am not planting as many smaller pots these days.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-54896752412095302152011-01-06T10:31:20.901-05:002011-01-06T10:31:20.901-05:00Here's where an old-house-dirt-cellar really c...Here's where an old-house-dirt-cellar really comes in handy.

Had no idea what it was called, though... I just call it a potting tray. Got it at Lee Valley Tools. Not from the catalog (or I'd know it was called a "potting tidy") but from wandering around their store one year. Can't leave Lee Valley without buying *something.*Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527649631254016576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-30683479014821795092011-01-03T20:17:28.323-05:002011-01-03T20:17:28.323-05:00You know I want one.You know I want one.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-19968483679478943872011-01-03T14:59:22.032-05:002011-01-03T14:59:22.032-05:00Potting Tidy indeed!

Well, they are certainly civilised, assuming you're not lazy like me and know you'd still end up using newspaper! lol.<br /><br />I have a potting table, and yet instead it's full of plants in the pots and nowhere left to pot anything up, so I still use the wall - which is at the perfect height to do such work! <br />You can take a horse to water...Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-55462662860281377262011-01-03T09:43:50.710-05:002011-01-03T09:43:50.710-05:00Eureka!
