So, they grew on me.... and I got a couple.

Question is... HOW do you use them?
You put another pot in them, is that it?
I am confused.
I want to try having some sort of mint (I think it's called in english), and some other sort of... something that can be eaten :P
Does someone actually have these and successfully planted something? I need a how-to - for DUMMIES! :-[
Your're thinking of herbs - mint, thyme, oregano, parsley rosemary, that sort of thing. Not all herbs are able to be grown in pots
I'm not the most avid gardner, but I think if the pot has a hole in the bottom, you can put the soil directly in the pot. Then you'd need a dish to go underneath - it will hold any excess water.
If the pot doesn't have a hole, you'd need to use a smaller plastic pot for the soil, and a thin layer of pebbles underneath, so the excess water can sit there.
I think the whole point of them is that you don't need to put a plate underneath - the excess water goes into the pot and the watering system then deal with it.
I have... 24 of them. A separate pot with the plant goes in the ojo. The plastic thingies with the rope go up into the bottom of the pot & the rope sucks up water from the ojo. You need what's called a "grow pot." These are the plastic pots you get when you buy a plant that have holes along the bottom. I got mine from a greenhouse.
My plants love'em. When set-up properly, the eyes are blue when the reservoir has water & turn brown when dry.
Yes, 24. I wanted 4 of each design; I got them over a year or so whenever there was a sale. I have a rather rare plant from sub-tropical Mexico called "Queen of the Night Orchid Cactus." It only blooms at night, lives for years, & propagates easily. 12 of my pots are growing these.
