- I was taught that the problem with glazing pots is that it affects the pots ability to withstand
- frost (re. cracking) - this might just be a consideration for the outside of the pot though - my
- memory's having a sabbatical on this one....
- ... I'm not sure about whether or not an internally glazed pot affects a trees stability, but surely
- glazing the pot will hinder any porous quality of the material - but is porousness (?) a particularly
- desirable feature of a pot?
