Hey Ian,
A real nerd here too! I like a lot the effect on the polystyrene, it really looks like some weathered terracota thing, a wonder when you think of polystyrene being one of the ugliest materials available!
Yeah. They are great containers size & drainage-wise but as you say, ugly. Putting them to work gives me heaps of potting space, which I really need. I reckon someone more artistic could do a lot better. The fruitbox was about my third go at it.
I really like the result as it is, more artistic work may make it look faked while it really has a nice rugged aspect like this, must be real strange when you touch it then.
I do not think there would be a specific name and I wonder if it exists in any language though it is indeed the kind of experience everyone would experience one day would it be with dry wood, fake terracota or volcanic rocks (very surprising!)
