Inexpensive S/H pot?

[kenr62]

I have been growing s/h for years & thought I would try an experiment. I started with a clean 5" clay pot with rolled lip, single bottom center drain hole and no side slits. I attached it (inverted) to a 4" glazed ceramic tile using mighty putty. It took about 2 hours to cure rock solid and leak free. I attached 2 noid bulbophyllum with fishing line and filled the reservoir with distilled water. overnight it appears to be leaching thru ok. - Time will tell if it is a viable inexpensive s/h method.

Am curious if anyone else is using something like this successfully.

I also recently bought and set up a few Swampsticks, which gave me the idea to try this...
