Odd socks and pin frogs

[AnonYMouse]

I have probably bought >20 2" net pots since the hydro store moved near here (~2 years). I have probably bought 10 pin frogs (I use them to elevate pots for drainage).

I have keep buying them 'cause I CAN'T FIND THEM among my orchid junk!

I think they get sucked into a parallel universe.

Well, I never used net pots, but a fast IXQuick search (my default search engine, use the one you like) produced pages of hyperlinks for these.

As for pot elevation, have fun being creative and repurposing things you may have all the time and throw away! Cut down empty plastic food containers turned upside down, plastic jar lids, etc.....the possibilities are infinite.

I usually find my missing socks inside a sleeve, so maybe that's where your pin frogs are ..

I never would've thought about using pin frogs for elevation! I'm guessing you have the pin part facing down, right? Clever.

Most all of my stake clips and pens disappear into that same parallel universe.

If you need 2" net pots, I've got about 1000 of them... (and about 15,000 stake clips)

Pin side up, so water doesn't puddle. Pin frogs are great in cache pots since they are heavy. I also use them to stand stick mounted plants.

I am a huge fan and proponent of the joy of being inventive! Including what you do in this.

When I use plastic jars lids, I use my hot knives to open the entire center of each, so water never puddles.

The possibilities for repurposing this and that to use as elevators (as well as many things we need to grow) are infinite!
