Metric conversions

Angelo,
That sounds like a good idea! If you will send me the table of nursery
container sizes as used in Europe, I'll construct a similar table for the
U.S. usage. I'll also put a pair of Gallons-to-Liters converters for US
and for British gallons on the same page.

Jim,
that's a useful link indeed. I am so used to Fahrenheit/Celsius conversion
at a point I read indifferently both. But what drives me in the dark is
something like 'plant it in a 3 gallon pot'. I have never understood how
big is a 3 gallon pot and its diameter. Also British gallon is different
from US one. If you need I can forward you a table with size of pot in cm
and its volume in liters, as used in nursery trade here.
