    Can you take the plants inside for the winter? Most plants, even perennials will not survive winter in pots

    I bring my potted plants into my enclosed porch in the winter. As for the old pool area, you can dig down to the dirt, removing the old materials (that's what we did) and then put in new topsoil. We have tons of stuff growing there now, when just a few years ago we called it "the crop circle".

    There are a lot of plants that can be potted up and survive with proper planting ,containers and most important drainage holes.http://www.plantnative.org/rpl-denjny.htm

    I guess I can try that again. It was quite difficult so I thought maybe potted plants were a better idea
