Potting Dahlias

Decided to put dwarf dahlias into separate pots. Getting a bit cramped in margarine tub. And will be difficult to separate roots soon.

Had a problem with lumps in compost. They stopped the knife going through it. I wanted to slice down compost between seedlings. Turned out a bit messy, as you can see.

Would really have been best to have done this job just before the true leaves appeared. This is me being clever again.




Using square pots saves on space. It means we can get about one third more plants in the same worktop space, than if we had used round pots.
