My grandmother used to line her clay pots w/aluminum foil - very simple,
hidden, and effective solution.

Good luck - whatever you decide to try,

Is there anything that can be done to clay pots to seal them up. Either
something to spray on the whole thing or just to coat the inside. I like
the
look of clay pots but after time minerals and crud start to leach
through
the pot. I do clean them off from time to time. Has anyone every done
this
before and what have you used.


The nurseries here sell a water-based proofing liquid. You paint the new
pots with it (inside and out) and it soaks into the terra cotta. You let it
cure for 24 hrs before use. The color of the pot is not affected.
