How To Stabilize A Column In A Pot

We didn't know how we were going to stabilize the column in the pot, we knew it was-going-to-happen.With few raw materials, bricks-gravel-dirt, we chose bricks for wedging. Gravel for gaps, then
dirt to plant 6 boxwood.

Columns don't budge.

  4. this column is an encyclopedia! I love it!

    the column in a pot is brilliant.........I saw the same thing you did....all the unspoiled villages....are the best one.....but you.....you named it! YES!! the "Poverty cirlcle"

    and the gravel paths.....no hardscapes......no fake cobblestones.......Lordy!

    My new challenge with my gardner is the "tara wattles"

    Brilliant beyond! I am going to have to walk him through it. 14 years ago I was the only client who forbade any gas-powered......or electrical tools of any kind. that is why.......(and you noticed) we are so delightfully wild here!)
    And 14 years ago this was a vacant LOT with only a field and a few oaks in the way back...behind the pond....no pond. either.

    blog coming about "pond" including duck house!
