I’m not a materials scientist but you would think the edges of the cut holes are shedding particles in a larger degree than an intact pot. Wouldn’t want that in something you’re planning to ingest.
My comment was made largely in jest, but I still think there’s some truth to it, and we will look back on our plastic use with dread in the future.
I also dislike the look of the plastic water cooler, but it’s resourceful should you have the water cooler jugs anyway. I don’t and I don’t have access to em. That said, I bet I can fashion something similar out of other materials, though I’m curious if the transparent-ness of the plastic is helpful for the plant.
It looks sorta similar to a terracotta pot I’ve seen someone use for growing strawberries on a patio.
yeah for sure, I thought of the same thing. its clear that the transparent plasric is goo in that the sinlight van hit one side and nourish all of the plants without shadow
You can rotate it periodically to give sunlight to all sides, but on my balcony thats not really that necessary. We have strong sun and when its high in the sky it hits everything
With infinite microplastics
Genuine question, not at all an attack, but what would the difference be between this and a regular plastic plant pot?

Ok doomer
im not so quick to put this down, it will work. I was also a little turned off by the plastic bottle, but just because I find them junky and gross.
a glass demijohn would be so much nicer, but then you’d need a diamond hole saw… one for ceramic tiles might work
