Hi All,

I saw Lowes has brightly colored, multiple sized (itty bitty to huge) self watering flower pots for very reasonable prices. I walked away to think about it and vaguely recall reading that they can become a mess with roots growing into the water reservoir and rotting. I'm sure whatever I read included more than that, but that's what came to mind. And in looking at these pots, the insert didn't readily come out and I didn't want to break it if it wasn't meant to come out. And then I wondered how would I know how much water is in there? And what if I overwater and the water has no where to go? And wait, what happens when it rains a lot??? At any rate.....,

Does anyone have experience with these types of pots?
