Terracotta Pots Decorate Gardens
When trying to think of a garden design idea, something that all gardeners should take into consideration is the use of terracotta pots. They are becoming increasingly popular now and more and more people are using them because they make attractive additions to their much loved gardens.
The reason for the sudden increase in popularity of these beautiful pots is partly down to their practicality. As they are so thick they guarantee resistance to weather and ageing which is something that undoubtedly reassures people when deciding on a garden design idea. As well as this terracotta pots are plant friendly due to the colour and texture of the material that they are made from. All of these factors contribute to the popularity of the pots because people know that when they buy them it is for the long term and they are not going to have to buy new ones in a couple months time.
Another reason why terracotta pots should be considered when trying to come up with a garden design idea is because the range of pots available today continues to improve while the price of them still remains reasonable. They are now available in a wide range of shapes and sizes and can be either plain or decorated which means that you are bound to find one to suit your garden design idea.
One of the best things about these pots is that keen gardeners don't even have to worry about them in winter. Usually people may worry about pots cracking or getting so cold that their plants die which can be a common occurrence in the freezing cold months. However, terracotta pots are even safe in the winter because they are fired at such high temperatures that they are frost resistant.
Other reasons why these pots keep getting more and more popular is because they are also surprisingly lightweight. As they are lighter than a lot of other materials that are used for plant pots, it is a lot easier to carry them around your garden. This is very convenient if you decide to change your garden design idea and want to move you pot or pots to a different location.
With other benefits as well such as the fact that they can be further glazed with colours to suit anybody's taste and they are very hard wearing, it comes as no surprise that many people decide to use terracotta pots when choosing a garden design idea.

what happens if you glaze a pot before you bisque fire it and then fire it for the first time?
not really sure but I think the pot needs to have a more non porous surface for the glaze which is why you fire the first time and then glaze
putting the glaze on and then firing probably loses a lot of glaze
