root work Ant style

Post by craigw60 »

Last week I went out and bought a load of native tube stock. Allocasuarina and banksia integ. I followed Ants method of not pruning them which was very difficult for me. And then watering them heaps. I couldn't bring myself to water them twice a day but did give them a serious drink once a day which is way more than I would do normally. If their was any problem with these plants it would have shown up by now on the new tips as they have been potted for 1 week. So far all the plants seem to be still growing and looking very happy.
Thanks Ant
Craig
