Disguising plastic pots
Like a lot of people I can't afford glazed tubs in the larger sizes, so
I'd like to try and disguise the black plastic variety. I've scoured the web, so I know about burlap etc, but I wondered if anyone here had come up with a novel method. I was thinking maybe Poundshop roller beach mats and twine? |

Years ago I painted a big black plastic pot with some paint I had left over mixed with sand. It has a few missing bits now but it still looks OK. It won't survive being moved! Steve -- EasyNN-plus.

I use bamboo slat screening cut to size (the only thing to watch for is the number of wires used to hold it together - some brands have wires 4-6" apart which is great and others a foot apart which is useless).

Why not try covering it with hypertufa. http://www.the-artistic-garden.com/h...-beginner.html |

Another option I've seen: some sort of sand/cement mix, stones or shells pressed into it And another: planters made from durable woods NT |

You either need a lot of patience or to be living somewhere very hot :-) And thanks to Jake. Yes, I've looked at screening but the wirework is more problematic than it looks |
