So I wanted to do some exposed Root pines this year. I've seen people use corrugated black plastic pipe and large drainage layer size pumice to grow the roots through. I fixed up a couple colanders and wanted to see what you guys think? If this will work descent or not.
I'm gonna use regular coarse soil in the bottom Colander. Use a 3/8 to 1/2 size pumice in the pipe and coarse soil at the top to start cut seedling. The top of the pipe will basically be a nursery liner. I will do the coarse soil, with potting mix in the center. Cut the seedling on a 45degree angle and attempt to grow the seedling down the pipe. I think this should work fine.
The thing I'm wondering is the way I wired the plastic pipe to the Colander. Is the gonna be an issue later. I have the wires threaded thru the pipe and wire to the colanders. Will I be able to pull the wires out of the roots when it is time, or do you guys think the crossing wires will grow into the roots and be an issue to get out a few years down the road.
