Painting my pots...

[Ed of Somis]

In my studies and what I hear form experts...container growing can be sabotaged by pots getting hot from the sun and stressing the roots. I believe this. Therefore, I decided to paint my black nursery pots (plastic) white. It actually was fast and easy. I got some old latex exterior flat white that we had left over. Then, I simply used a 7" roller. It came out fine. I am not needing perfect here...just good enough to reflect the hot sun. I am expecting better results this season...
