Default Re: Bare Root Storage

Actually nothing leaches out of the concrete, but the concrete draws moisture from
where ever it can get it, in this case out of the PSs. That keeps the contact point
moist and that is where the rot starts and in time penetrates the PS.

If you have a carport or there is one in your neighborhood, check it out: A wooden
post should never extend into the concrete, but be attached to it by a steel bracket.
That keeps the post from direct contact with the concrete and from rotting.
