I wasn't going to say anything more ... but DAMN! "The plantation?" Well, I've been to one world fair, a picnic, and a rodeo, and that's the stupidest thing I ever have ever heard!
You mentioned that you considered using playing cards to keep the plant's roots separate. It was in your message about the "sexy plant" growing in a dumpster or something, but you said being paper the cards would just rot.
Well haven't you seen those sexy waterproof playing cards? You could stick the sexy plastic playing cards into your sexy soil between your sexy plants in your sexy picnic basket that is on top of your sexy stack of books on top of your sexy stool that is on top of your sexy table, all under your sexy chandelier and since you are switching to a sexy 12/12 light cycle tomorrow at sexy high noon you will be able to use your sexy cut finger twice each day to flip your sexy light switch right at sexy high noon and sexy midnight.
Damn .. I bet you got some major wood going thinking about all that sexy stuff.
