Man, don't you love it when you think you have it all down and you believe you are perfectly organized and then BAM.....you prove worthy of hanging a handicap sign around your neck?
I was repotting my Black Olive and it was time to water the tree to make sure the new soil was soaked. I started to water and noticed bubbles rising up out of the soil. I started to think man!...Those are a lot of air bubbles...and then it hit me.....those are not air bubbles...those are Soap Bubbles!!!!!!!!!!
I keep a gallon of water that has been mixed with dish washing soap in order to kill small pests in an organic method. This jug was forgotten about and not labled so I had used it to water my newly repotted tree! Wow....I felt like an A#@. Thank goodness it did not have any rubbing alcohol in it yet. I spent the next 5 to 10 min watering my tree to push out all the soapy water I had just put in. I watered until I saw no more soap suds so I'm hoping I did not kill my tree or hurt it in any way.
What about you? Have you ever done something to or with your trees that you wish you could take back? Please share so we can all point our fingers at you and laugh. We can start with me
