OK, here's one for the group...probably Nedra the most...

When we plant lotus we like to put them in shallow, big diameter pots. This
is because the tubors only need 4-6 inches of soil to grow, and the round
pot (with tubor planted near the edge) allows the tubor to grow and follow
the curve of the pot.

What about a pot that is 12 feet long, 12 inches wide and 8 inches deep. How
would that work as a Lotus pot?

This is a serious question.
