S/H roots

[johnblagg]

when is the last time you flushed you s/h ?And how long do you flush dosent really sound like that is it but a really good flush would not hurt .....I had a that happen a bit at first with mine but just the roots at the very top of the container.

I flush every week now and lol very very well I put the few I have in the bath tub and use the shower head on a hose to realy flush and tip the pots to get as much water out as I can and flush again.THen I leave them in the tub and let the shower run up to 10 mins ...a little ocd but it helps.

I also started using the plastic folgers coffe cans for s/h pots .They are red colored and you can not see through them but they seem to keep algae out for the same reason.

I would try some bayer three in one mixed to directions ..5 1/4 tabelspoons per gal and drench them with it letting s/h pot get filled with it and leat it sit for about a hour then drain and fill with fresh water ...I did not flush after draining just filled with plain water.The next day I flushed well and refillied with fert solution I use.


No dead roots since for me

Ray, That is very interesting. I'm using a plastic container that I got from the deli, which I washed very well before converting. Maybe not well enough? I'll try washing it again and repotting. I'm considering getting one of your ecoweb pots, though.

EcoWeb is not for S/H.

Well, once it is in ecoweb it wouldn't be s/h but I would try to keep using prime agra as the medium.

I have a few plants in PrimeAgra in EcoWeb pots and they seem to really like it.
