Bruce,

One other thing to look out for is to not use soft fired Clay pots. This
usually come from Mexico or northern South America. Beside the fact they
over time they will tend to have the clay flake off of them there also may
be a high lead content from these pots.

Purchase post that have a smooth hard finish to them and have a ringing tone
when hit sharply. Most of the soft fired clay pots do not have a slick hard
appearance.

I've been having trouble with my plastic pots falling over from the
weight of the plants whenever there's a breeze. I was thinking about
adding more weight to the plants by using clay garden pots instead of the
plastic ones. Do they pose any danger to my fish? Anyone else use them?
Thanks.
