Hi, everyone,excuse my delay in answering.

kingedking,
your idea sounds fantastic! I'm playing with the idea of even making a big 'trough' with papercrete. Thank you for valuable info.

mlwdad,
my answers to your questions are:
1) A sheet of Japanese newspapers is generally 31.8"X21.6"
2) You don't paint them. You may put dyes in the stuff if you like before building.
3) Papercrete containeres drain so well that apline plant enthusiasts in Japan are
rather partial to them.

creadman,
You don't need to spray anything .Use them just like any other containers.

just have a try. I insist.

Thank you,Sidney. I'm well.
Yes, I grow tuber nasturtiums this year too. Some are beginning to bloom.
May your nasturtiums com out beautifully.
