Containers on uneven ground? Does it matter?

[lampost]

Well shit I almost feel ridiculous posting this thread, but I'm a goddamned perfectionist at times.

My basement floor is totally not level. It's got fuckin' concrete repair seems and was basically just a really shitty concrete pour when the house was built. Anyway, some of my containers are sitting at an angle... probably only like a 15-20 degree angle, so not too bad. I've tried propping up one end and putting them on wood, but the room is small and it becomes a pain in the ass to move around in... plants bouncing all around when you step on the wood.

My concern is that the water will gather on the low end and cause root rot and shit. Is this something to be concerned about or should I just let it ride? I'm currently just rotating the containers to try to avoid a singular wet-spot... like on my bed:4:

Next time I'll build a level elevated floor, but just wondering if this is cause for concern??

the temp of the basement floor, might be a problem. I would elevate/insulate the pots, some

Yeppers, cuz my cold floor stunted growth because the floor was too cold. As far as the floor if you turn them everyday i think you will be cool. I have read where a guy grows his at an angle to help lst and control height of his plants.:rasta:
