For those familar with Fabric pots, do you guys eventually get the salt or algae buildup on the outsde of your pots. I started using fabric when I ran out of space in dirt a couple of years ago....my fabric pots sits outside 24/7 and sees all seasons.
Anyhow, the salt buildup even with flushing happens .....
What's annoying is just the algae buildup on the outside of the pot.
In the fall, I take a heavy brush and try to scrape/brush most of off with a bleach wash.
I've ordered some Physan just to see...
Even after a long hard winter - aka, I started to prep the pots and amended them with some lime. Whole the whole green growth is not there, I can ~smell~ the wet algae on the outside of the pot. It's not a strong smell but subtle.
