WHUT ???
Yep, I cobbled up a way to deal with our OCCASIONAL heavy, heavy, HEAVY winds.
In another thread, Bonsai Nut suggested my juniper pot looked too small.

Well....dammit... you KNOW how crap like that will...eat...at you and ...reluctantly.... I had to well, sorta, kinda ....AGREE!
So I repotted UP. Not much.... a BIT!
Then.....looking at the new setup, I began to worry that it might TIP. So, I leaned it this way and that and ...nope... no unbalance. The pot was flat and steady on the bench in every possible direction.
But......but....but.... WIND !! It can get really "special" in these parts.
So I thunk and thunk and found a box I could put the pot in but it looked REALLY crappy!
Then....in blew a BRIGHT IDEA....NAILS!
Soooooooooooooo...... I got some 4" nails and drove em into the rack and fitted the nails to the POT.
It allows me to turn the pot, lift the pot, break the pot....all sorts of stuff.
Maybe not too CLASSY....but it works. That pot would need to be SHOT off the bench now!
