[IBC] using repaired pots
In a message dated 9/26/2003 1:42:02 PM Eastern Daylight
Time, writes: So, another question along this same line (I'll wake up the list yet!)--do pots reach the point where repairs or damage make them more desirable, in terms of wabi/sabi--patina, that sort of thing? No. ;-) A few months after our return from our last Japan trip an old, signed, shallow mame pot I had paid a LOT for over there was pushed off the table (tree and all) by a bird or squirrel and broke EXACTLY in half at the diameter mark (does that denote a cast pot????). I glued it together as carefully as I could, but felt I no longer could use it for a tree. It is used today as the pot for an accent planting of Polypodium fern, and is quite satisfactory, as the fern and the moss hide the mend.
