waterlilies and their pots, some potting notes :)
"Nedra" wrote in message link.net... Carol, Do you have a Dollar Store nearby? I have about 10 $1 pots that look like a wash basin. Perfect for lilies. ============================ Yes Nedra, we have one of these stores down in town. I will definitely check them out on my next trip to town. I think I know the low basins you mean. Sometimes Big Lots here also have them for $1.19 or something like that. Thanks for reminding me. -- Carol...

wrote in message ... mine do fine across from the waterfall. the water is undulating, I am sure there is spray on the leaves. but it isnt chlorinated water like from a sprinkler. I only have solid containers, no slits, no holes and my lilies do great. my limiting factor is sunlight and space, so I only have two lilies. this year looks like I am moving one of them to my mother's pond since my texas dawn is so huge. Ingrid =========================== We have plenty of sun but I also had to give away one HUGE monstrous white water lily 2 years ago. It took over 1/3 of the surface of the 2000 gallon pond. It was just overwhelming. The lady who took it had a 5,000 gallon pond and loved it. -- Carol...

"BenignVanilla" wrote in message news:l7mdnU7tTuZ3JdndRVn- Being a cheapo DIY'er I use whatever I can get my hands on cheap. My potting contianers range from recycled pots that I have bought landscaping in, to a stack of waste baskets I found last year for a few cents a piece at a local gadgets, crap you don't need and beyond store. As for media, I use a mixture of pea gravel and larger rocks for all of my plants. ========================== I am also a bit frugal and buy most things on sale or dirt cheap at flea markets whenever possible. I remember seeing cheap low solid plastic porch pots in several stores recently. I'm going to hunt them down and soon! All were under $1.50 but I didn't think I'd use them for anything at the time. I think my lilies will love them. :-) -- Carol... My website: http://www.heartoftn.net/users/windsong/index.html [Insert humorous, clever or profound quote here] ~~~~~~~~~{@ ~~~~~~~~~{@ ~~~~~~~~~{@ |

I had tossed them on a shelf in the outbuilding. They were still in excellent shape so I used them to plant waterlines in. :-) The price was right. -- Carol...

It was suggested to me that i drive around the night before bulk trash pick up and i'd be amazed at what i could find. #1- I would be embarrassed to go through others' trash, and #2- I am blind as a bat at night.
