Guide Review - Potrisers - The Fabulous Dissapearing Pot Feet

First I just want to say that for some garden planters, pot feet are essential for the health and well being of your plants. Even garden planters that have sufficient drainage holes, if they sit directly on a non-porous surface, like a deck or patio, can get plugged up. The water can't get out of the holes, which can drown your plants.

Pot feet can solve this problem by elevating your garden planters. Some other advantages to elevating your garden planters is that more air can get to your plants' roots through the drainage holes, and you won't rot your deck or patio by having a soggy pot sitting directly on it.

Now on to the primary beauty of Potrisers - they disappear. Designed by a professional container gardener, who didn't want decorative pot feet, these small squares of non-marking rubber go underneath your pots, raising them just enough to be effective, without changing the look of your pot.

With Potrisers, your pot looks like it is slightly floating.

Although a bit pricey, these tough little squares are practically indestructible and should last indefinitely. Made of 100% recycled material (truck tires), four of the smaller sized Potrisers will hold up to 1600 pounds. Four of the larger size Potrisers will hold 12,000 pounds - which would be one big container garden.

Potrisers are not only great for garden planters, they work well for houseplants too. Put them under plant trays or pot saucers to save your surfaces from water rings and lingering moisture. I even know someone who uses them to elevate a sound system, and my laptop, which gets ridiculously hot, is sitting on four of them right now.
