Root-rotted

Two days ago, I found the source of a dead smell in my backyard. It was a root-rotted frangipanni. The water wasn't getting through the pot and it wasn't happy.

So I pulled it out, emptied the pot out, and cut the tree in half, after looking at the roots- which were rotten - and put new soil in with the top of the tree in.

By that night, my hip was very sore. But I didn't smell a dead smell anymore.

What a relief to find the source of that smell.
Sorry to hear about your sore hip.

I am sure it will recover now it has been repotted. They grow so easily in our garden from cuttings.

Hope your hip improves soon

@sewfree there's nothing worse than not being able to find a bad smell in your garden. I'm getting physio for my hip.
@onewing I'm glad it's going to recover. But if it doesn't, I've got other plants.

Good gardening

@joansmor I love getting dirty in my garden, and it's the best part of having a garden.

I agree...
