#Potting
A Qing dynasty failson’s memoir of genteel poverty, parties and potting soil was rediscovered in a Suzhou book stall in 1874 and remains one of China’s favorite love stories.

Isn't a healthy kind of social media one that behaves like a potting shead.

Mine is currently in desperate need of new paint and shingles. I keep putting it off because it does the job "well enough". But it deserves a few hours of toil.

There's "work" in it. It has real meat. I can dig down […]

This was how I spent a lot of my weekend, digging up my dahlias and getting them ready for winter. This is the mess I make! 😂

maybe it would help if I had maybe a wheelbarrow to move the potting mix etc around in

Now everyone is in their correct size pots with the correct potting soil. The kitchen floor is a gigantic mess.

She's gonna take it. It's gonna end up in her closet with potting soil smeared all over it.

Working with my worm compost in my greenhouse. I use compost for refreshing potting soil and fertilizer for my plants. Sore back today so sitting sifting compost keeps me busy while giving my back rest. #homestead #greenhouse #compost #recycle #witch

It depends on what you’re growing, but I’d say 8/10 times if the sunlight and water levels are correct, plants will grow. Potting soil just gives you more control over soil nutrients (which become important when you start talking yield/output)

Okay, guilt-free Kalshi: is this eleven day old seedling a male or female? Vibes only. I have no idea.

#BlackSkyGardeners can I plant directly into the soil? or do I *need* to get potting soil

Hmm is it invasive by any chance? Because it sure is trying to invade your space 😂

As an aside, I have a bag of potting soil on my deck that sprouted something. I left it and now it’s 3’ tall. Pretty sure it’s an invasive weed though so I need to get rid of it.

You sweep up the mouse droppings in the garage, but California's Department of Public Health says sweeping can stir hantavirus-contaminated material into the air

As of late September 2026, the garage of my Riverside ranch house holds the patio cushions, the potting soil, the boxes nobody opens, and now and then a li

They call it "lobster potting" and it's killed two teens already

Did y’all plant your seeds this weekend?? If you haven’t and you feel like “but what do I really do??” Here’s a short video of me planting my lettuce seeds.

I’m planting in a big pot with potting soil mixed with a little compost and bone meal.

some other examples that didn’t make the list:

1. dust
2. dirt
3. perlite
4. potting soil
5. oatmeal

The least they could do is not lie about it. I am sorry, this is less chocolate chip cookie dough and more dates mixed in potting soil.
I still think splitting the atom is the more significant scientific achievement but it's a little odd inventing a protein bar that doesn't taste horrible is taking a lot longer

I could do that in 3 seasons, if you gave me the potting soil budget

It's when it's someone else's door that the fun really starts. Good luck getting the potting soil!

Oh my fucking god I am so tired of DPD ding dong ditching me, except they don't ding dong they send me a picture of my door every day from further and further away.

I told them to just leave my fucking parcel at the post office, but I know it's gonna be large and heavy ( it's potting soil ) so ughh

Water the plant, not the calendar. Check the soil first, then decide whether it needs water. #PlantCare #Houseplants #WateringTips #VerdeVivo

Moles generally indicate good soil health. Also the spoil from their hills makes excellent potting soil.
Who needs a pristine lawn anyway?
Moles are definitely not a pest.
