Sapling
I am in the process of moving from one property to another. Building a house and business in a small town. With this I am gone from my trees(in the city- new place in the country) 16-24 hours sometimes. A handful of the larger trees I will be repotting into pond baskets or Anderson flats. What I am interested in discussing is. What would you fill a above ground grow bed with? Amend soil at all? fill the bed with something other then dirt? Just dig holes in the yard and place them in? I ask this knowing there are 101 different ways and things, buts hearing the masses out is good sometimes.
I have listened to podcast where Randy Knight was known to place yamadori in grow bed with sawdust. These seems more reasonable when recently at a nursery they had sawdust covering there pots and around them in above ground grow bed. The gentleman said he didn't have issue with it holding to much water, roots worked there way in easy from from Nursery pots and the fungi for the spruce and pine he grew said couldn't hurt. Would beds of spent bonsai soil bulked up with say pumice or lava rock work well? Just Pumice?
Thinking like huge tray for what keep bean and mame size in during the summer. But would be for much longer. This year and Next and least
