Thanks! That is a great idea and so much easier than saving those styrofoam balls . Sure wish I had known yesterday lol, I was outside and a burst of wind came thru and it looked like it was snowing!! . This saves the day as I have more plants to re-pot and have lots of empty cans . No more styrofoam for me !
