Thanks for the URL, Janis...most interesting that they use a water
reservoir to 'prune' errant roots.
Will have to try this one...wonder if simply setting the inner pot on
something in the outer pot so that there was an airspace would
provide sufficient 'air' to keep the plant roots from migrating?
