Why do plant pots have a wide bit at the top?
Why not just a straight taper from the bottom to the top?

Possibly;

To give people a fill line for compost, to allow for watering,

Maybe to increase the volume of water that can be fitted in the top of the
pot.

Maybe for stuctural reasons - it makes the pot more rigid having a little
lip

Perhaps someone just thought it looked better!?


Thats the best i can do at this time in the morning.
