I had a couple tomatoes planted in small self watering pots this year, and they did wonderfully despite the fact that I completely neglected them and wanted them to die as the tomatoes actually tasted terrible. I really need to find some self watering hanging pots for my front porch - I should look on Gardeners Supply and see if they have them!Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-40814641094573469972015-12-12T06:57:21.962-08:002015-12-12T06:57:21.962-08:00This will sound odd, but whenever I have a garden ...This will sound odd, but whenever I have a garden problem I now hope it is similar to one you've also faced because you come up with the best and most fascinating solutions. I'd not heard of using baby diapers but of course they have those hydrodynamic properties that would benefit a plant/planter - so clever! And yes coir is useful to birds as it is to us - we have some naturally TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-14824130285957345712015-12-11T09:30:19.300-08:002015-12-11T09:30:19.300-08:00Oh my gosh..."baby diapers" to line a pl...Oh my gosh..."baby diapers" to line a planter? That's a new one for me and simply hilarious. Thank you for the laugh this morning. It never fails to amaze me to what lengths us gardeners will go to in an attempt to create that bit of a "green splash" in difficult places around our homes. I'm glad you discovered the self-watering window boxes as a solution to your "Rambling Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10999834146146755878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-69984468975646612452015-12-11T08:48:35.889-08:002015-12-11T08:48:35.889-08:00Beautiful combination there.

I've no window boxes at our current house but I do share your frustration with the coir liners, which I use in a cauldron-style planter, as well as some hanging planters. While I had no problem with it at our last house, the birds here seem to have identified coir as the best material to line their nests.

I'm using mostly succulents but this type of box could be the answer for the front where the deer have access and I don't spend as much time.Shirleyhttp://rockoakdeer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
