Sorry Lynn, i have not been able to understand your question. How do i grow my container plants? Does this question meen containers in general or these bottles. These bottles i was thinking of giving them a two inch slope, a absorbent fabric strip laid from the cap through the mix and out of the bottom hole hanging four inches free. This strip of fabric is to get rid fast of the Container Water Table which normally lies at the bottom 1/3rd of the container. Then plant some succulents in a soil, mulch, sharp sand combination and check if the plastic bottle can withstand our heat. Plastic containers are normally a failure here(root rot), terracotta takes the climate better.
As to the tardy reply (please forgive), new here, thread unwatched (which i will correct), ID'ing plants, database then on top of it all getting lost in reading some thread. It took me ten days to go through the Semp thread
, read a entry or two then lost in daydreams and work. Hard to explain.
Earthquake? No we are not prone to destructive earthquakes. One in a hundred years is not bad. 1935 Quetta earthquake, then 2005 Kashmir earthquake (I was a part of the first med team which could make its way in, 90,000 dead and wont forget the stink). Sorry Gordon, when these earthquakes come, nothing is left standing and these bottles have to be attached to something. I don't think they have any chance of survival.
Regards,
Masud.
