do you mean pots laid on their side? i often plant up broken pots when they have split with the frost.

Yes I do this to but lay them on their side in your border or under a tree:)

See you soon pm me

could either of you explain how to do this with maybe a pic...curious to see

You can even buy pots on their sides now Giroffe.

ah ! so... obvious really...I've never seen a display...could come up with some interesting ideas

Oldbillie has a purpose made pot on its side with a Saxifrage in its on about page 5 of ' Container garden ideas' Giroffle.

thanks for that I'll take a look

A member has posted a photo of their pot on the side today also G. The reason I took an interest in your question was I asked almost the same question 18 months ago!

I cant find the photo Drc

Go to Container garden ideas and click on '16 at a time' then its on page 5.

Thank you found it its nice a idea with anew pot where I have done this with an old terracota pot thats rim has broken off with frost .

If frost Is going to get this pot again it might be better to plant with an annual and store the pot over winter. A poor soil plant might work well such as a Nasturtium tumbling out? I wanted to do it with a Geranium zonal so that it looked as if it really had fallen over and broken and just left there, but alas I have still to do it!

Yes it woudl look great with nursturtium and like your idea of a geranium falling over.

There is so much you can have growing in spilling pots lets all see what we can come up with.

I dont mine leaving my old terracotta recyle pot it adds to a bit of character

Dont forget to show us the results Scotkat
