Yes, anything that holds soil can be used as a container. One plant that loves to grow in almost anything is the lovely Orchid. Orchids like to have their roots compacted, but must drain freely and have constant humidity. In Australia most Orchids are grown in semi-shade, but in Asia many varieties grow in the full sun. You can use an old boot, palm leaf, tin can, whatever tickles your fancy really. Happy Gardening Marty Hi, Marty here!
