Hi Rick,

We think very much alike on that. I have found the 2-liter soda bottle pots to be very useful, and will make even greater use of them this Winter.

Their depth allows deep root development, and the pots are virtually indestructible. I have an "assembly line" to produce a bunch more 2-liter soda pots for use in my upcoming indoor Zinnia Project.

I tip my hat to you.
