Joyce Lee asks,

----------------------------Original message-------------------------I'm
thinking of making flowerpots and garden structures. I have several =
questions.

My answer to the one about glazing the inside of Planters, a question others=
may
have wondered about, is, don=92t. It seems that plants roots are sensitive =
to the
chemicals in glazes, though I have no facts which would validate this claim.=
But
plants seem to thrive in a well drained situation where their roots have =
free
access to air. So, good sized drain holes and no glaze inside.

Hope that helps,

Ivor Lewis.
