    I have planter that has an outside light pole in it. I managed to get the plant out of the container I am still left with some hard roots. Is there anything i can put on them to kill it so I can replant in the pot. It is extremely hard to get it out. I’d appreciate your input. Thank you

    • @HorticultureGeek
      @HorticultureGeek Před 19 dny

      I use Stump and vine killer from Bonide. It’s available at most big box stores and works well. I also use a hand saw in these situations to cut the roots out of the container.

    When you drill clay pots ,soak in water before drilling. This makes it easier and want break.

    Would a larger clay pot be better for stability? Just wondering.

    • @HorticultureGeek
      @HorticultureGeek Před měsícem

      The stability is really based on the shape of the pot and how much bottom surface it has. If the pot is too heavy adding water would be a challenge. But a larger pot that is a good stable pot would work well. The size of the fountain can be whatever fits your space. Hope this helps.

    You can prune and grow tea on a slant also. Think the side of a slope versus a tabletop. This will increase your yields by about 25%

  • @lisab.1595
    @lisab.1595 Před měsícem

    I've planted Supertunia's forever. Bubblegum is by far the most prolific bloomer. I usually plant my Bubblegum with Jazzberry and together they make a beautfiul arrangement. The new Saffron Finch also blooms constantly. I tried the new Hoopla this year and though it started off a bit slow, after a couple of weeks it just took off. One thing about Supertunia's is that they require quite a bit of water. No, you don't want to drown them and get root rot, but if you let them dry out where the foliage starts curling, sometimes you won't be able to bring them back to life. As strong as they appear to be, they don't like dry soil at all. Just something to be aware of.

    Pump is too small can’t even hear the water flow

    • @HorticultureGeek
      @HorticultureGeek Před 2 měsíci

      It’s not that type of fountain. This type of fountain is more for the appearance of flowing water and a light trickle sound. To get a loud fountain you have to have a water drop. The pump is actually perfectly sized for this fountain and it could actually accommodate a fountain spray head if more sound was wanted. However a larger base would be needed to catch the excess water slash. Thanks for watching.

    I love it! Wondering about maintenance.

    • @HorticultureGeek
      @HorticultureGeek Před 2 měsíci

      I typically take mine apart to store it for winter so I give it a good clean at that point. Other than that it is pretty low maintenance. Since this is not a water garden with plants or fish I do add small amounts of chlorine to the water like a pool to keep algae out of the water.

  • @cherylsommardahl
    @cherylsommardahl Před 2 měsíci

    IDE like a little more sound effect. Is there anything I can do?

    • @HorticultureGeek
      @HorticultureGeek Před 2 měsíci

      You can add an extension of your pipe and a t fitting at the top to allow the water to fall and create the splashing sound but you would unfortunately be able to see that so it might work in a more formal garden space but if you don’t mind the look it will work. I have actually done this to mine before to get the sound but ultimately for me decided the sound wasn’t worth the look especially when I have other water features that do make lots of sound. Hope that helps.

    Same oroblem here,but only the planter is narrow at the top,how do i go about to get ut out

    • @HorticultureGeek
      @HorticultureGeek Před 2 měsíci

      Same technique. You are going to have to cut the root ball out of the planter one small piece at a time to get it out of the opening. It will be a chore but if you are careful you should be able to do it without damaging the container. Good luck.

    • @user-co1vd3zt4p
      @user-co1vd3zt4p Před 2 měsíci

      Aye,will try again,the issue is,the plant has grown too tight at the top,don't know the name of it,but we call it ' mother in law tongue',so we cut the the plant down to the rim of the pot,but struggle to get to the soil,I thought of drilling holes at the bottom to insert a rod to poke out the soil from the bottom,but thanks for your reply.
