400 gallon smart pot, rock dust, horse poop, worms, good stuff!
Wow! Did you have to make that pot? Or did you actually find a place that sold em that size?
Sean
They are available up to #400 and they now offer a 4' x 4' Flood Tray liner for $40.00 and a larger one, 8' x 4' for $70.00

Wait, if there is a plastic liner for your smart pot doesn't that defeat the purpose of air pruning? Cool idea though!
Sean
Agreed - however if one built a frame with even 6" legs from PVC then you would be spending less money than buying an injection-molded flood tray and the aeration issue you noted would be easily resolved.
But the biggest benefit with using PVC is that you could check the pH of your run-off making sure that you're in the sweet spot to preclude Phosphorus lockout or something worse!

Another consideration, perhaps, is if one were running a straight-up no-till soil and taking Microbeman's observation that planting new rooted cuttings right away is a benefit then this would be a very good way to approach that with a minimum amount of physical labor which is always nice.

They should definitely get ahold of the guy that does "square foot gardening". They could make a onetime complete set good to go! Sell it on QVC and make boat loads of cash! Lol

I did a kitchen herb garden for easy access when cooking and I placed it on the deck off of the dining room. They call it Pocket Planting and what you do is buy a large container, load your potting soil and then take a razor blade and cut 'slits' in the side allowing you to have plants not only on the top of the container but around the sides as well.
Like the traditional clay strawberry pots from Mexico but far less $$$$$

Could someone kindly explain the term 'creeper' when used in the context of a plant's traits?

Used to be when the effect didn't hit right away...then all of a sudden some time later..Blamo~ that's all I know...
Its more of a "stone / high" trait than a plant trait.
Mainly observed in Indica dominant finished flowers. Or so ive observed...
(I hope I don't sound like an idiot here lol)
Huh - I was thinking along the lines of cover plants that can be described as creepers. Thyme is a good example - some grow up and out and other varieties are 'creepers' and spread out.

On growing a straight TO, have you seen the structure that you saw in the TO x HNL photo? That heavy, dense, massive biomass?

Lmao, oh my goodness!
Its like when someone says hooters the first thing you think of is boobs but they actually mean owls.
I had a feeling that was a trick question.
I have a "pikake" (single bud) growing in my yard that could be described as a "creeper" in that sense.
