I found this tutorial for making a pot out of a t-shirt and old garden fencing. I thought some of you might enjoy seeing this.

Interesting idea, but if your summer is hot, a lot of water will evaporate right through the T-shirt. I think it would be better to plant directly in the plastic bag the potting soil came in. Just poke some drainage holes in it.
