   They are about 12 inches deep and about 9   
   inches in diameter.   
      
   They are in hard pack decomposed sandstone   
   (ancient lake bottom).  Before adding peat   
   moss and fertilizer to the hole, filling   
   them with water takes about 6 hours or   
   more to drain.   
      
   The idea was pots that do no blow over in   
   the wind and not having to amend ($$$)   
   the entire area.   
      
   The soil in these holes has worms in them   
   and feels really nice in my hands.
