Cement Cloth pots
Whoa! I think this is an exceptional idea even I am tempted to try. I love the look of these pots. I have just the right shape of "form" I would like for my new clematis. Does it matter what is used as a stand to form the shape. I have a wood table-like thing, without a top, that my roommate found tossed in a dumpster down the street. He is planning to use the wood parts (all of it is in super condition) and I better stop him before he has it taken apart. Originally, I wanted to get screen door screen to cover the top, for my planted pots. It is high, but doesn't have a bottom shelf. Perfect, I think for tall plants in pots on the top, and plants that are tall and might need a bit of shade on the bottom.
So, I am not concerned about getting cement on the table itself, because he plans to paint over it anyway and bits of cement might add character. Because I have never done something like this, do I need to worry about the cloth/cement sticking to the wood and making it impossible to get the plant off the wood? Or do I put something on the wood before draping the cement soaked cloth over it, like maybe saran wrap, to make it easy/possible to remove the created pot.
