Good way to avoid neck rot is to plant it in little hill of soil/compots...make little heap like mole hill. The soil on top of that hill will aways stay much drier than rest of the soil and it will keep the excess moisture away from the stem that will otherwise rot it... ;)...or...you have to learn to be less liberate with watering can. Try to water so that you make a circle around the rootball area avoiding watering the compost/soil right next to the stem.
I am trying some grafted cues, anyone had experience with them. I have been using my "El Torro" for the last couple of weeks, always reliabe and quite resistant to the normal prblems.
