Specialty Gardening: pots that attach to downspouts?, 1 by LiseP

Cathy4, I've got mine threaded through latticework so sliding is not an issue. But I did just put one up on a downspout and it shows no signs of slipping.

For one thing, the pot's shape hugs the downspout pretty well, because it's curved to accept the shape of the downspout. It's not a round pot, it's more kidney-shaped or subtly crescent-mooned shape, I guess. So you can push it up against the downspout and the soft plastic sort of grabs onto the downspout. And then of course there is the strap. And third, when attached, it is slanted a bit so that the pot's bottom pushes against the downspout, to prevent slipping. Here's another picture taken to show that.
