Arfitz, from Caldwell, NJ sent me this message, can anyone help?
Several years ago I read an article on how to make a decorative pot from a black nursery container. I can't remember which gardening magazine or even the date of the article, but it gave directions somewhat like these: "Take a length of garden hose the circumference of the lip of the pot, Slit the length of the hose and attach it over the lip of the pot. Make the ends meet exactly". For the rest of the pot they used some kind of adhesive wallpaper that would withstand the weather and attached it to the outer periphery of the pot.
The article was much more exact in its directions, but since I no longer can find it I am hoping that this synopsis will stimulate the memory of some one who reads this. and will give me the exact article here on Daves Garden
Help with directions on "How to make a decorative pot"
I remember that article----it had to have been in either Fine Gardening or Garden Gate, cuz those are the two mags I take.
I'll check the websites and see if I can find it online.
Nope, sorry; I couldn't find it on either site. I think the one I saw was within the past year. They used a length of pipe-insulation for the rim, and once that was attached the whole thing was painted with some of that stone-flecked paint.
