how careful you folks are!  i tend to just dig food peels - apple potate and 
orange mostly - into the dirt of my flower pots during the winter, while 
there are no flowers there.  it might not be the best method, but it adds 
nutrients to the soil eventually.  i don't grow veggies, and my flowerpots' 
main function is providing a pretty way of keeping the kids from jumping 
over the side of the stairs to the sidewalk - six stairs up.  yes, there is 
a railing, but apparetnly enough space for a flower pot is also enough space 
for small feet attached to an adventurous head.

my other flower 'pot' is the legs of a bench, in which the dirt is heavy 
enough to keep a theif from dragging it near the first floor windows.  it 
does, t hough, provide the neighborhood kids with a place to play with mine 
while i chat with their moms :)
