Wonder if that slide was due to similar conditions to the one in Smuggs - melting snow and quick warmth turning loose the hillside. I'd read that Norway had AN snowfall this winter, saw a pic of equipment opening a road thru the high country that looked like the oft-posted one from the Japanese Alps, though the sides of the "canyon" looked more like excavator work than auger. Expand There was still some snow in the background of that slide video. Yes, I am a snow weenie. Giant mudslide destroying property and threatening lives and my eye wanders to the snow in the background and thought "Living there would probably bump up my annual snowfall". 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the rootballs go into the holes and then a lot of the plant gets buried so it can spread out it's roots? Expand I fill the two holes with moist packed potting mix, That becomes the wick system for the container, Then the rest of the bin is filled with potting mix so the depth of the container becomes 10" or so and the roots actually will seek the water reservoir thru the smaller holes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
