Now I won't hesitate to use them alone!<br /><br />I second Rebecca's comment on vermicomposting in those large containers.

I have not done a post on my adventures in vermiculture, but that's a great idea-thanks!<br /><br />Susan, thanks for stopping by and supporting the GDRT writers on your your month "off"!<br /><br />Jenny, I often recommend a water pot as a trial run for folks yearning for a water feature. They're low-care and versatile; perfect for getting your "toes wet"!<br /><br />Thanks, Shirley---yes, many ways to share the container love!Jocelyn H.
