Cool An extra hint

I use pretty much standardized nursery pots. When I transplant I take an empty pot the size of the one the plant is in (a gauge pot, if you will). I then fill the larger pot till the tops of the pots match. I put the gauge pot inside and fill the larger pot around it. With a minimum of packing the soil will hold together as you remove the gauge pot. Now you have a hole in the larger pot you can drop your plant right into. Sprinkle about one inch soil on top and water. Keeps root shock to a bare minimum whilst immeadiately putting roots into contact with fresh soil.
