    bernice, we planted the entire bottles and packed them with clay (made with our dense dirt and some water). some of them have plants growing inside them. i decided not to use weed killer on it because it gives it a terrarium feel. my husband shattered one of the bottles with the weedeater, but other than that, walking around them and planting around them is not a problem. they have not broken over the winter either. we replaced the one my husband broke and haven't had any issues. dana, my birdbath has faded as well. we got it discounted because it was a display and had already started fading. so we were kind of expecting that to happen anyway. i will probably just paint it one solid color later.
