Thanks Ken. That's what I needed to hear.
Also thanks to everyone else ... Good idea on giving to nursing home or other. A couple of years ago my HOA took a bunch of old plastic pots I wanted to discard. Perhaps I should check for some other possibilities. I am a bit paranoid about the p;aces like Freecycle and Craigs list but will give it some thought. If the pot is nice enough I put it in my SA, Goodwill or ARC for pickup and they can resell for profit to the organization.
Since I do mostly hardy succulents and a few annuals for color and display, I have a variety of types of pots.
I am doing hypertufa for my sempervivums as they seem to winter over best in that medium. The annuals are in a variety of types of pots but am not sure about the dirt issues.
I will try ammending as has been recommended and advise results.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
