gardening globes

Question

I have ceramic pots that I’d like to put globes in during the winter. However, the globes I want to purchase are 10″ diameter, and my pots are 16″ diameter. Would they roll/move around if it’s really windy? Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

I would look for a cheap 12 inch plastic plot, put the globe in that and then set it into your larger pot. You could fill the 16 inch pot with lots of soil and nest the globe in the soil; my concern is with the freeze and thaw of the soil cracking the globe. You might employ bubble wrap to act as bumpers on the inside of the pot.
