Converted Marigold

Ieput the plant, dirt and all in a bowl of room temperature filtered water and let it soak for a few hours.  Then I shook it gently, and lifted the roots right out of the soil and placed the whole plant in another bowl of water where I shook it again to get most of the soil out of the root.  Again, I cut a grow sponge in half and then in half again, and used the pieces to cushion the roots, encased it in a basket, cut a slit halfway through the label and again, applied it with sticky-tacky and popped the already blossoming marigold into the seventh hole.
