Re: sealing containers

Medit plants folks:

I've seen that stuff around and it's a worthy sealant
for clay (terra cotta) containers.

But keep in mind that there are plenty of "real" water
sealant products that work on clay, terra cotta,
masonry, ceramic, etc.  They're clear (or clearish),
some cheap, some expensive.  Available at big
nurseries, especially those that sell lots of clay
pots and available at big home centers.
