How Long To Leach Soil From Oleanders?

Question

I am in zone 9. Oleanders pulled out March 2023. I would like to plant spring 2024 in that bed.

Answer 1

The leaching process in a garden bed depends on various factors such as soil composition, water content, and drainage. Generally, leaching can take a few hours to a few days. Sandy soils with good drainage may leach more quickly, while clayey soils with poor drainage may take longer. Adequate watering to flush out excess salts or nutrients is essential for effective leaching.
