Well.. not the artistic use odd discarded items.. But from afriend that does consumer pannel work for Oscar Myer.. they get their sample meats from the company in these square foam containers... nice 2" thick foam.. I keep wanting to embelish it with some of the stucco for the new foam houses.. since I just refinished my roof access building with it.. I should decorate the planter.. I did spray paint the white foam black...but the spray paint erodes the foam so I guess I got negative results.. but the foam keep the temps even.. and the rose overwinters nicel in it.. and it doesn't break dormancy too ealy...
