> www.geocities.com/southbeach/lagoon/8735       whenever you dispose of
dead plants, always dicard the soil!!!!!!!!!! it may have pathogens or
insects.. Always start with fresh soil when you start with a new
plant........The pots should always be disinfected as well...use a weak
solution of bleach water.be sure to buy a good soil product as well.. many
times soil purchased at a discount store, is just that, discount.  because
it has no nutrients.. buy a soil mixture from a nursery or greenhouse...
good luck... christain  blondeey@hotmail.com
