  1. I'm just wondering if anyone knows the answer: does the plastic degrade over time and leach plastic particles into the soil, which eventually will be taken up by the roots of whatever plant you have potted in plastic? I will research, but maybe someone in John's audience knows the answer? Thanks!

  2. I purchased the round stackable planters at a local flea market here in Tampa Bay. DO NOT try to drill waterholes to the plastic. It cracks.. I used a cheap soldering pencil and could do three or four trays at a time. I stack five of them up and thread a 3/32 covered cable through them, supported on the bottom. I then attached them to an overhead pipe, and hanging five stacks on each pipe. I then use a hydroponic solution to feed them, with a pot on the ground below them. this is my fifth year with the same group of planters, they should make it through this season and one more.
