Don't Throw Broken Pots Away!

Once a pot breaks, many people throw it away. I am going to share what I do with a pot that is broken at the top while the rest of it is still good.

I have a very large old clay strawberry pot that broke down the side, from top to bottom. I did the same as you do Dinu, wired it together. It has been about 8 years now and it is still going strong.

Yes, sometimes, such pots become a sort of favourites too, don't you think so? It's at times very hard to dispose them as waste.

I do think we become quite attached to some of them. I do need to replant the old strawberry pot. It has been years since it has been redone.
