If someone describes a pot as a 10" pot, is it measured by width or height?

Yup, the one that is different is circumference which is the measurement all round the pot at the top.Originally posted by Martin H View PostComment

In that case lets be correct top diameter if its round, top width if its square
, bu99ered if I know what to call it if its octagonal

Now, I'd always thought it was the diameter across the bottom of the pot. Don't know why - perhaps because the measurements are on the bottom? I have just measured some pots indoors and it is across the top. Learn something new everyday!Originally posted by mothhawk View PostYes, width, at the topComment

Ahhhhh was it straight across or across the diagonal on square or a tangent on the round?Never test the depth of the water with both feet
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

If its a circular pot its the circumference.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.
