Sorry to differ with you, and here I think I am on firmer ground than with 8
foot tubes. I used to sterilize all my pots with bleach solution. The past ten
years or so I have been sterilizing the clay pots and metal stakes in the
self cleaning oven, which I believe gets to 700 deg. F.

I found that in a hard water area, the sodium hypochlorite in bleach
combined with calcium in the water to saturate the pot with calcium chloride
or something similar, which is poisonous to plants. It killed the roots
wherever they touched the pot. I may not be exactly right about the
chemistry,
Hi there:
I saw your messageboard posting on the orchid terrarium that you built for your
dorm room and wondered if I could ask a question or two, since Im going to
attempt the same thing. Im mostly concerned with watering drainage issues,

There are differing qualities of stainless steel. Lesser qualities will

tools will verify this, Andy.
