Was wondering if people grow stuff in ground that are in grow bags with the same effect of ground growing without it. Thinking it may keep roots in check and make it easier when it’s time to lift them.
Were they putting the grow bags in the ground and getting similar results?Telperion Farms use grow bags, and Ryan Neal loves to buy their material. The topic is covered in an episode of the podcast Asymmetry. I recommend giving it a listen. They are seeing idententical growth rates as growing without the bags, but the root system is more compact and easier to transition to a pot. Their speculation is that you get the microbiome and even moisture benefits despite the restricted volume of roots.

Will give a listen.
What size do you use? @moke too!I like it,just have not did it yet.
Just make sure you use heavier bags by Rootpoch Brand .They are the only brand I know that uses entrapment pruning and can last a few years or so in ground.
Other brands air prune and roots would row into ground and defeat purpose.
I use them all the time above ground.

I believe mine are currently in 1 gallon? I plan to up-size them as needed.What size do you use? @moke too!
Here's the link to the item I am using, I bought several different sizes.
The material the bag is made of allows feeder roots to grow through to get nutrients and water but constricts those roots as they get thicker and so root prunes all thicker roots.
It absolutely is so. You just need to research it a bit. As stated earlier, I had a lot of experience with these 30+ years back for nursery stock of all sorts.I don't see this as being physically possible.
I believe this is Paramount!Caution must be observed when picking your bags as some are designed for in ground use and others for above ground use.
