I have two pots that are just loaded with these plants. I'm needing/wanting to make more pots of them, can I use my old potting soil that I grew vegetables in to transplant them? The soil was fertilized 3 to 4 times during Summer.
To give an idea how hardy these plants are I dug up dozens of them and threw them in my junk pile behind my workshop. The next year I found that not only had most of them lived but there were hundreds of small plants growing among them.
@Chuck what temperature do you use to sterilize your potting soil. I know you posted it before but I can’t remember where.Hey thanks, how do I sterilize the soil? Ya, I bought them on the assumption that I might have a chance to sell some.
Between 180 and 200. It doesn't really matter.@Chuck what temperature do you use to sterilize your potting soil. I know you posted it before but I can’t remember where.
You can do it anytime you like. I just did it then for my tomato seeds so as to plant the seedlings in mid March.So can't be done here in Texas now like pics?
That all depends on how big a fire you have and you can't use a plastic container over a fire. The outside temperature or sunshine doesn't matter. Some folks do smaller amounts of soil in their kitchen oven.How long will it take in full sun when it's 50 to 60 degrees out? The dirt I'd be using has already been outside in a 25 gallon round water (plastic) container. Could I just skim top layer off and do the rest?
