Re: An alternative to wood growing boxes: terracot

I used a carbide masonary bit in a drill press to add holes to terracotta pots. They work pretty well for training containers, however the shallow, sutible for bonsai, bulb forcing variety seems to cost more.
Also because of the porus nature of terracota, they break when they freeze in the winter time. As I live in zone 4. I am switching to growing boxes made out of scrap cedar.
