SaffanZimbo Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 We will be renting our UK house and I was intending to leave my vast collection of potted plants behind but MIL has insisted that we plant these out into the garden in case our tenants do not want the bother of watering individual pots - and I see the sense in this. However - MIL wants me to deep clean all the pots and take them with to Perth as they are lovely and worth quite a few £'s. I am however loathe to try and deep clean them and then treat with Jeyes Fluid (10-20 pots of varied sizes) as I'm not sure even then they will pass an ACQUIS inspection so I am tempted to leave them behind.... Thoughts anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts anyone? Garden pots will attract AQIS Inspectors like flies to poo, I would imagine you will be given the following choice when they arrive here in Perth, pay to have them professionally sterilised or pay to have them destroyed, doesn't matter how clean they are, we left every pice of 'garden anything' back in the UK?

nikkiwd Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I agree, don't bring them. Try and sell them in batches on gumtree? at least you may get some money for them that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaffanZimbo Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks Druid and nikkiwd! MIL flies back to South Africa on the 12th September so that weekend I'll have a combined garage sale with our neighbours and try to get rid of the pots, garden furniture, weber, air con unit and other bits we aren't taking with. If they don't sell at the garage sale I'll then try gumtree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Why aren't you taking the Weber? I am planning on taking ours....is that the wrong decision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-c Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 We brought pots, pressure washed and then Jeyes fluid, no problems at all if you can clean the BBQ so it's spotless bring it, if not spotless bin it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
