The geraniums we grew last year in 5 litre paint tins were noticeably
superior to those grown in plastic or terra cotta pots.
I wonder whether this is to do with being metal or the fact that they
are straight sided and present less area at the top for evaporation.
Anyone got any thoughts?
Possibly the extra heat conducted by the metal stimulated extra root
growth.
