Our terrace is beautiful. While we have many plants in the garden outside the house but it always looked like this naked. So potted plants. But how? Perhaps even more mobile, so that we can slide in the summer as a windscreen in front of our seats? Yes, that would be great.
Those were our thoughts in recent weeks. Finally, we have chosen large fiberglass tubs (of east-west trading.de), mainly because of the simple optics and frost resistance.
The desired Mobility should we bolted heavy duty castors (via ebay) before use. The drilling the holes turned out the way more difficult than expected. With steel drill and impact drill, but then fell. Devilishly hard, the fiberglass!
When planting we have opted for bamboo. More specifically for Fargesia murielae 'Fresena' (of bamboo-info.de), due to the upright growth and low tendency to leaf rollers in the heat.
We have plenty of great water drainage holes drilled in the bucket, a layer of pebbles and poured them covered with fleece, so that no soil flooded through the holes. Then the good earth FRUX bamboo (from local gardeners) were introduced and planted the bamboo. Against too rapid drying out and look for more beautiful still large chunks of Rhine gravel on it - done! may be on the second photo you see how beautiful silver-gray weathered our wrong track now :-)
