Today I picked up 1/2 cu ft each of drainage rock, river rock and pea gravel. I am going to use the plastic imitation half-barrel for the orphaned prickly pear I brought home a couple of weeks ago. The total 1.5 cu ft is just about right for the barrel. I am thinking of putting it on the corner over by the east fence line. Other than the neighbor's cats. this area is a relatively untraveled walkway. I can let it cascade down between the fence and the stone wall.
Currently, the prickly pear is in a cheap plastic 2-gallon bucket. It's been there apparently for many years. It has many new growths and numerous volunteers in with it.
I may tackle it tomorrow. I think I may "disassemble" it, prune it, get rid of the weeds and then put it in its new home.
