How to clean last year’s garden pots

It’s just about that time when we will be getting the pots out of the garden shed in preperation of all the good growing and gardening we will be doing this year. But it is important to always start with clean pots each year, to ensure you don’t transfer any plant diseases to your new plants… not to mention that old pots just look gross!

Unfortunately, just water won’t do the job right when it comes to plastic and terracotta or clay pots. So simply mix a solution of half water and half vinegar to clean all the grimy mess off your pots. Rinse with water, then allow to airdry in the sunshine. They are ready for use!
