I still don't see the point of the pot, cut a pop bottle into 6 inch
rings and use those, you'd get wind protection for the first few days,
no light loss, no place for pests to hide, and if you were going to
hoe the ground, protection from a careless cut with the hoe.

Quite! I couldn't see the point either but thought I was
misunderstanding the watering bit. .............
