Thanks trees. Glan and Pelican check out Rootmaker.com and treebag.com. If you get into the Rootmaker site there are articles written on studies about trees grown in bags which is pretty cool. You can also do a general search on Carl Whitcomb and get some more articles. I love the concept. If they could only figure out how to make the bag removal easier. I've considered pot in pot but there are to main reason's why I've been shying away from the system. 1. a plant can stay in a grow bag longer than a pot. I had planned on using 30" bags for trees. Essential I could harvest that tree anywhere from 2-4" cal. possibly up to 6". Pot in pot I'd have to continually pot up or sell to prevent root bound plants. 2. Installing a pot in pot system correctly with drainage is pretty costly. Thanks Trees.
