Default [IBC] using repaired pots

What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over. I had the same
happen when a cascade blew over. I repaired the pot so that no-one else
knew it was broken. To me it was always the broken pot, so when the
opportunity arose to replace it with an almost identical one from the
same potter (David Jones of Walsall Ceramics Studios)
I did. The repaired one is now a stand-by and I feel better. To me this
is more important than when displaying.


If I ever show this tree I'll probably replace the pot. It's ok for now.
The foliage needs another year or two of work first.

I put 1/2" marble chips in the bottom part of the pot for ballast. It
seems to help.
