With infinite microplastics

Genuine question, not at all an attack, but what would the difference be between this and a regular plastic plant pot?

I’m not a materials scientist but you would think the edges of the cut holes are shedding particles in a larger degree than an intact pot. Wouldn’t want that in something you’re planning to ingest. My comment was made largely in jest, but I still think there’s some truth to it, and we will look back on our plastic use with dread in the future.

im not so quick to put this down, it will work. I was also a little turned off by the plastic bottle, but just because I find them junky and gross.

a glass demijohn would be so much nicer, but then you’d need a diamond hole saw… one for ceramic tiles might work

I also dislike the look of the plastic water cooler, but it’s resourceful should you have the water cooler jugs anyway. I don’t and I don’t have access to em. That said, I bet I can fashion something similar out of other materials, though I’m curious if the transparent-ness of the plastic is helpful for the plant.

It looks sorta similar to a terracotta pot I’ve seen someone use for growing strawberries on a patio.
