Course you still have to lift them a bit to get on the skateboard, but 15 gallon containers still seem manageable. The other trick I've discovered when moving them in is to not water them for the last 4-5 days. This makes them considerably lighter & also helps dormancy to kick in. mIEKAL
 
 
Hi,

Spring cleaning is coming...

Be on the lookout for old push lawnmowers.  Just remove the dead engine/handle and you have a dolly that you can keep large potted culture on.  Twenty gallon, utility tubs sit on the mower decks perfectly, and you can roll them around easily when mowing, the lawn or putting tubs into storage.

Time to watch for old sections of carpet too.  Cut into 3-4' circles make great weed block under a trees (pile side down, remove in autumn).

Later,
Tom
