I was watching some videos on bonsai and the gentlemen showed the difference between tree grown in a pot vs in the ground from the same seed run... obviously growing in ground is much faster, which made me think about my last outdoor grow (MJ).
What I did was use large smart pots, that I purposely left the bottom out of. The result was an area at the base of the plant that allowed me to feed as I needed, but it went into the ground and I never had to worry about watering it all summer.. Come time to chop it down I opened the pot and found an excellent root ball, and some very large roots heading into the ground.
My thinking is, if I did this with ground trees, wouldnt that make it very easy when it comes time to dig this tree up? Unwrap and go?
Maybe in over thinking this, terrible idea?
