hi carlseawolf,do you put any crocks or stones in the bottom1/3 below the drainage holes,is there any advantage in putting a bottle or pipe into the pot to water and feed,so it reaches the roots instead of crusting over the top.
just thinking out loud now,if some suitable joints be got,is it possible to set up a hosepipe system from the water barrell or tap,with a small length of hose into each pot,coming of the main feed,have to give it some thought and investigation,as to price and gravity,has anyone tryed this,or am i just barking up the wrong tree.
