Lynn, I just emptied out a pot approx 12"+ tall by 12" diameter that had all rotted semps. After emptying out the entire pot of the too wet soil and its dead occupants and refilling with a few empty plastic milk bottles and lighter soil mixed with pumice and smaller pieces of the 1/4 minus, I think I felt like how you felt even though you did TWO Whole Beds!! Call me a Wuss
but I have an even bigger pot (the 20" diameter)
that needs to be done...I'm cringing at the thought...
Love seeing your newly refreshed beds and hoping to see in person in the near future.
