    It's repotting time a the Karlboms place. If you have nothing to do, just come and help out. These are all going up on a epiweb IIS tube.'

    "Gluttony" is a great word, no? I'll share it with you. My repotting task after last weekend's craziness is about as daunting as yours!

    The tube is 1,8 m high and I can't get my arms around it, perhaps 40 cm in diameter. I have one already in the hallway, but need another one now.

    That sounds like it will be spectacular! Please post a picture once you're finished remounting everything.

    May I ask, what strategy do you use to rip these monsters off without completely killing the roots?
