Luteo,
Those wild rabbits can be a problem with your plants. I have a good deal going. My daughter feeds her rabbits pellets from the store. And I scoop up the bunny berries for my plants. I wanted to see if you could over fertilize with the stuff. No you can't. Pour it on,use it as mulch, or soak it in a bucket and pour off the tea into your plants. The plants love it. Just for fun,Google search bunny berries as fertilizer. Good info.
Yes some plastics degrade over time. Sun exposer is bad for it. I haven't tried the tubs myself but I have read that others have. If it's going to be a showcase plant at your front door then get a nice pot from the store. They are made to last longer. If you are handy with wood,maybe making one out of cedar would work out. I used a stainless steel washing machine tub for a Namwah that I have. Part of my point is,BE CREATIVE. The plant doesn't care unless it doesn't drain. It must drain. The washing mashing tub had too many holes. So I just made a liner out of landscapers cloth. Those Roth can breath!
Kevin,
Those plants do have a nasty spine on them. My plant is still small and in my garden window. But when I got the original it was a fight. Those things have a built in security system.
