Vertical Thinking

Saturday, October 25, 2008

Of course, stocking half the living-room floor with Philodendron is an open invitation to stock the other half with cat-vomit, if the past four winters have been anything to go by.

So, let’s rip out six shelves of the bookcases, saw each shelf at the thirteen-and-a-half mark, drill two holes in each end, and use some one-inch number 8 round-head wood screws to screw them together.

At right angles.

Now the flowering Christmas cactus is proudly on display. No need for it to languish on a shelf in the back bedroom.

Six plant shelves, ready to receive those plants which pussy-cats didn’t oughta have near their aorta.

Don’t sweat the lack of proper trays or enclosures – they are on their way.

Small plants can sit where they will; large plants will occupy the lower deck.
