The rest in the last time is plastic.<BR/><BR/>SigrunSigruns German Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17443421119980326977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1152930456707459962006-07-14T22:27:00.000-04:002006-07-14T22:27:00.000-04:00Dear Zoey,Your barrels look great.

Most of the stores that sell them also offer a wheeled "dolly" that they sit on. Makes moving them a breeze!

I might take out some from the top then mix in new soil from a bag, and also there is the soil attached to the roots of the plants you transplant. I don't think it's always necessary (or practical) to do a complete soil exchange.Philosophical Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158346138596472638noreply@blogger.com
