Anyone have a tip for a quick way to wash out pots? I bought a bunch of new
pots 6" (or larger) for plants that had out grown their pots and wouldn't ya
know it? Now I need a bunch of 3", 4" 5" etc pots for other plants to move
up into. So I'm stuck washing out those old pots. I get all happy that I
have a stock of nice clean pots, sit down and do some repotting then lo and
behold! I got all these dang dirty pots again!! LOL!! Its a never ending
cycle.

I had an epiphany the other day. I came to realize that I had so dang many
old dirty pots (DNODP) that I didn't have to keep any pot that was a pain in
the neck to clean. I recycled any with edges that grime congregates in, and
kept only ones with whatever shape was straightsided and easy to clean. So
that was my only contribution to making pot cleaning easier.

I tend to like the square plastic pots, only because they don't have the lip
azalea pots have (and tags get stuck on). Plus you can put more on a bench.

I've been using a large tub used to mix small batches of concrete for a
potting tub. Holds a lot of medium. Also makes a nice tray to cart
potting
materials around in. (Stakes, bark mix, wires, pots, cutters, torch - you
know... all the "stuff") I used to put this stuff in a kitty litter pan,
but it just wasn't large enough.

For example, when I am potting, I use an old lazy susan.
I put it in a wide flat bowl which catches any spillage & is clean
enough to use.
