Hi guys,

Gotta question.... want to soak some trees I have in training pots, does each individual plant need fresh water or can I just take one out and put another in. I guess if there is a problem in the soil in one of them it could be a sure fired way to spread it around.

Thoughts appreciated
Thanks

You are correct about transferring diseases but many of those will already spread through insects, water and the air so I think the dangers of soaking multiple plants is negligible.
Soaking the pots is actually a good way to fertilize so I sometimes mix a batch of fert and soak the pots in that.

Thanks for the thoughts!
Makes sense, multitude of ways problems could spread anyway.
Going to soak with seasol rather than water it in across all the plants. Will ensure there’s no dry pockets too, especially with this weather.
Cheers

Add a dash of WettaSoil too! ..... but to pines...
