I have a daisy that keeps running out of dirt seems it collapses into the ground its very sandy soil. I went and put some cow compost where the hole is hope I don't kill my plant, if I do I'll dig another up and put it there. Will let you know if it does recover though, I couldn't find no good dirt in the garage or basement, used it up. moderator's note: added a more descriptive title to topic
As long as the cow manure is well composted there shouldn't be any problem putting your plant in it. Please post photos so we can keep track of it's progress with you.
So far so good I think the caving in is due to a mole digging around the area. The plant is surviving so far looks okay.
Hi Reeseewi, i think i would put the plant in a large flower pot or container,..as its ran out of soil several times before chances are it will happen again. As for running out of soil,..many years ago i was in the same situation,..so i started saving up my tea bags,..taking them from the cup before i added milk,..then tore up the tea bags and added them to some soil,..i still do this though i have lots of soil,..but the combination of tea leaves,tea bag paper,and soil works wonders.
Philip---Teabags, huh? For organic material? I am a coffee drinker, and every morning I dump the coffee grinds outside my back door in the garden bed. Plants seem ok despite the acidity. I'll keep the teabag trick in mind.
Hi Cayuga Morning, to avoid the mold forming on the tea bags i just let them drip dry on chicken wire covering a container,..then add them to the soil,..there are great nutrients in the wee tea bag,..brilliant for roses, ,..i mentioned saving the tea bags "Before adding milk",..as milk and plants do not get along.
Philip--I have seen your photos of roses, so your advice is very credible with me! What about the 'fake' teas--chamomile, etc? I am guessing you are meaning the true tea.
