Hi
I have a quince tree in a pot being doing fine for years but never fruited.
I’m repotting on into a much larger whiskey barrel
Barrel is
Top diameter 67cm
Bottom diameter 54cm
Height 48cm
It will positioned on the stone patio

I have a few queries if anyone can help please?

- drilling 4 1” drainage holes in the bottom?
- making up a mix of PF compost / topsoil / perlite / blood and bone / some bark / homemade compost
- should I put it on wheels? I don’t really want to but at the least will put it on raisers to clear underneath?

But will this be moveable without wheels if we need to redo the patio?
It would need a few people.

Anyone any advice / experience please help.

Finally I know repotting late. Will this be an issue?

Thanks all!

Apparently they were visible here too but I was tucked up in bed, best with your phone camera it would appear more than the naked eye, might be visible again tonight

Purple, that would be nitrogen, below 120 miles up!

We don't have much chance of seeing them here.

I've had it for many years though fortunately I've only needed one hip replacement, and the rest varies with maybe the weather or what I've been doing actively. It is literally a pain to live with and I can't turn my neck that far round so glad I don't drive now. I do indoor and outdoor jobs as much as I can until my back kicks in then I take a rest or stop. Don't push yourself too much though.
