Rocks on top of a plant pot
Bill,
If you don't mind, can we stick with my original question, whether it is OK or not to put some landscape rocks on the surface of a pot to make it heavier? It is just a simple YES or NO answer !!

Thanks, JIMMY "William Wagner" wrote in message ... In article , "JS" wrote: I would like to ask the experts in the forum. I live in Dallas, TX area where strong wind and/or thunder storm is very common. In order to keep my backyard tree pots from being blown away by the strong wind, I put rocks (draining type) to make the pots heavier, that way they can withstand the strong wind. Is this OK? am I not going to cause any harm to the trees (mainly Plumeria and some fruit trees) Thanks in advance, JIMMY No expert here, but ever consider of staking a pot. Drive a stake and get heavy duty electrical ties and put one or two about. I'd also look at micro climate possible fixes like a low wall.
