Confused about how to choose the best potting soil? On
“Gardening in Georgia”
July 27 and 29, host Walter Reeves sorts out the selections with
University of Georgia
horticulturist Paul Thomas.

Reeves also shows a trick you can use to save potting soil.
Big containers, he says,
don’t need to be completely filled with soil. Use empty bottles
to take up space in the
large pot.

He takes a look at nursery plants, too. Unfortunately, the
plant you buy at a nursery
may be infected with root rot before you buy it. UGA plant
pathologist Jean
Williams-Woodward shows Reeves how to identify and avoid sick
plants.

Finally, Reeves finds that a dandelion fork is just the tool
for removing weeds from
your lawn. Stick a fork in it!
