well, im pretty much done, and im happy with what ive got so far, i havent put anything in the pot yet, but i was thinking of filling it up about an inch and a half with rocks, then a thin layer of perlite, then soil, - just like mary jane wants to.
It was easy to make, i already had the green air sponge things from an old aquarium, and i found the right size aquarium lying around for it too, the hose pipe and an old innertube made sealing it up very easy, and the pot was just a 5 litre juice bottle cut in half, then the only thing left was to poke the holes in the bottom, so i used a hot poker, to make sure i didnt split the pot, if anyone has any ideas or comments your more than welcome to share them and any constructive criticism would be appreciated.
Anyway, here are the photos, tell me what you think Im now going for a well deserved cigarette...:dance:

A feature that appeals to me is the fact that it becomes a self watering plant (the capillary roots wick moisture up to the root ball) so it eliminates any guesswork about how much water to give. Also, I read an excerpt from a book that states self-wwatering units stimulate growth by a great deal. I Rating: 5
