HUBCAP
Dog walking again... yes, several times a day. This time I found a small Ford hubcap that, once washed, has become an ideal humidity tray for one of my small figs. The fig sits on the prongs above the water, the hubcap makes a great catchment area and the fig is out of water if it rains heavily. I keep my figs over water in the summer to promote aerial roots and this is a neat find. This is not one of those hideously fancy hubcaps... it is plain and ordinary and designed for its second purpose in life.

Re: HUBCAP
My dog walking trips only lead me to say "what if" at those same few trees i spot each time. Nothing much else. I did find some bonsai pots once, thats about it. Think i need to walk with you!
If you want your figs to go faster though, put it on a holden hubcap
