Bunny could you share the paint colour of the door behind you where you are cutting the pots please? Wonderfully serene shade.
Thank you!
Excellent suggestion!
So your "pot" plants are not in pots! Why not just plant them into the ground?
That’s a great idea, in my mind I see the large round circles you cut out as stepping stones 🙂
@Bunny Guiness Girl, you Rockin them bottomless pots into Heavenly Beautiful! All of it SO Inspirational. Thanks Bunny!.
No ear protection?!
It is too costly to just have the pot as decoration …why not to plant just in the ground ?
this is one of the best videos I have ever seen !!!! love it. thank you. I love the confidence you have when removing the bases from these super expensive terracotta pots, impressive.
Thank you for this video – please tell me where you have found your huge terracotta frost proof tree pots from, ive been looking for some to transfer baby olive trees! Diolch from Corwen, North Wales 🙂
I am so glad I watched this… what a brilliant idea!
Very interesting idea. I can’t tell but I would advise wearing ear protection when grinding the pots ❤
Many claims in this video are baseless.
How come you don’t just plant them in he ground right away
if your doing this ie taking the pot bottom out why ues a pot in the first place .. makes me laugh
Your garden looks great and I too love using pots, however until now I've never considered using bottomless ones. Just wondering what happens if a bottomless pot containing a sizeable tree breaks/cracks or rots away the pot and the trees roots are deep into the ground and it can't be move at all? Is there anything which can be done?
You make great sense, I’ve got about 40 big pots and have a bit of work to do, hi from New Zealand
Yikes, pots can be expensive, so seeing you cut out the bottom was painful and would change the integrity of it, but I guess that would help keep it from cracking during hard winter months…hmm…torn.
Why not just plant directly into the ground to begin with? What function does the pot serve? Style alone?
Omg why didn’t anyone ever tell me this before? 😀
And why don't you just plant in the ground? I must have missed that part?
I do this with potted tomatoes. Discovered by accident when bottom fell out. Huge fruit! The roots were huge and deep in ground. Makes perfect sense and protects from critters! Looks good
What a lovely lady, fab video and such a clever idea re taking the bottom our of the terracotta pots. Who knew/ Thank You Bunny G. 🙂 xx
this is great. thank you, I have quickly begun to do this and already have amazing results especially on my allotment. Brilliant video
Such a shame that there is no sound on this video until 2 mins 39. I almost gave up on it! Spoke to soon, sound gone again, then back. Hmm how long will it last?
Best to use a cordless grinder – well worth the investment. Makita is a very good example. Excellent advice by the way. Thank you.
Love her shirt!
I've used chimney pots to get the same effect. Limited sizes though.
I agree. I have a hosta in a large baseless pot under a shade tree in my front yard.
But do tell me, what is the red flower at 5:25.
Thank you!
I love the idea. Need to find a cheap way to do it, wood has been expensive, thinking of recycling materials.
This was brilliant! I’ve never heard of doing this but am really impressed with what you’re doing. I am also very jealous of your beautiful pots. They are much harder to find this year at a reasonable price. Hopefully just a temporary supply chain problem that will resolve itself. Also, nerver heard of “frost proof” pots. Something to check out!
THIS is my mistake… the compost conundrum. Thank you! Brilliant.
Bunny: You are a genius and a goddess to my gardening muse. Thank you, Lady.
but then you can't move it? i dont understand why would wouldn't then just plant straight into ground
What a wonderful video with so many great ideas. Thank you so much!
That sounds like a good idea. But I think it weakens the structure of the pot by removing the bottom. You need to have endless resources to be able to afford those huge pots. Terra cotta pots are very expensive.
