Got a little busy today, my sister has a privet problem and I have done my best to help her out, but I ran out of pots. And soil, and recycling bins....



I had to take this photo on the run after potting them up and will put some better photos up tomorrow.
As a reference of size though, the black container with the multi trunk in it is in a council issue recycling bin, and with the soil, it ways over 80kg!!!!

That was not fun to move by myself.

Very nice, Jason. Should keep you in projects for a good while as long as they all make it. Good luck!

You're very good to your sister!!!!

There is still another 20 or so to come out watto. I will soon be out of pots and like again.

Jason u might have to enlist some help wink wink

At the dollar shops you can get plastic colanders for $1.00 and they make great pots. OK, they do come in a few sizes and the really large ones cost about $2.50, but they do make great pots.

For the ones to now come out watto, I'm going to need some big containers, similar to the terracotta coloured one in the photo. I may have to raid the local nursery.

Jason all flower power stores have a pot recycling bin-not sure if there are any around you but worth keeping your eye out. Or else check out the freebie section on gumtree.

Gumtree might be the go as I don't have a flower power near me.

Just an update, all but three trees are popping new buds all over. Looking good, and excited for next year when they are ready,to begin work

Good luck with them.
Pick a couple of the better ones and please keep us up-dated with their progress.

Will do watto, I've already got three that are mine. The rest may just be experiments. To see how far a privet can actually be pushed.
