Do you wash...

[Jenny Green]

your pots?
It just occurred to me today as I was pricking out some seedlings that I'm a dirty, lazy sl*t. I NEVER wash my pots. Yet in about ten years of gardening now I've only lost one pot of seedlings to damping off.
Do you wash your pots? Do you think it really makes a difference?

[Chantal]

I sometimes have a washing blitz and scrub loads of pots, however most of the time I just brush them out but I rarely lose anything either. Just too lazy

[pigletwillie]

I agree Jenny, not that your a dirty sl*t, but that there are more important things in life than cleaning loads of pots.

Although how about wanging them in the dishwasher, easy and sterilized to boot.

[Tigger]

Don't they melt?

[pigletwillie]

Tigger, now then

Put them on a cooler cycle with some finish, job done, the better pots could cope with it really hot though I would have thought.

[Chantal]

My dishwasher is old and only has one cycle and it's like an autoclave. My pots would come out as one molten lump.

[pigletwillie]

you could enter it for the Turner prize.

[Chantal]

It would be far to good for that load of rubbish; thinking about it a load of rubbish won one year didn't it?

[pigletwillie]

so did a chopped up cow in formaldehyde, watch out Ermintrude.

[Chantal]

Are you threatening me Piggers?

[pigletwillie]

No, no , not at all, it just glared out at me, you know, Turner Prize, Cow, Ermintrude. No correlation to you although me and chops always seems to be close to the front of your mind

[Tigger]

Should I moderate yet?????

[LakeView]

No, this is too much fun reading!

[pigletwillie]

no

[Tigger]

OK - I'm supposed to be doing some work - but something seems to be distracting me............
