Actually, it's a lot faster than you think. I use an old fashioned paper
cutter (picked up at the same dump), sort of a guillotine style. Cut
strips, turn them 90 degrees, chop, chop, chop. I'm certainly not a big
nursery, but for the hobbyist it's fine. I probably have a couple of
hundred band pots with screen inserts, and swear by them.

Funny--I just shared some plants with a friend yesterday, and told him
to make sure he returns the band pots. I'm sure they're common as dirt
in Oregon, but around here they're hard to come by, short of a big order
to Anderson or Stuewe.

Still a frost advisory for tonight, but forecast temp is up to 33.
Brought in the tender cyclamen (rohlfs, africanum), but that's about it.
