Hanneke 6 Mar 6:48pm, 6 Mar 2024 121,360 posts	0 Hanneke I would plant it. Give it a good feed and drink, i.e. mulch it, and prune the dead material out of it.

Columba 7 Mar 9:48pm, 7 Mar 2024 22,449 posts	0 Columba Anyone know where I can get a thing on castors, on which to place a tub 18" in diameter in which I intend to plant a brown Turkey fig tree? I can scarcely lift the tub empty, so I certainly need it on castors.
