Rootbuilder makes both. Pre made injection molded 1 gallon pots, that have holes for air pruining, and they have kits of cable ties and rolls to assemble the quart or gallon size you want, but they don't quite look the same, for example the number of holes. My question was whether anyone could compare the two, because the price is not too different. I don't need more than 10 1gal pots, but if the injection mold pots are any less efficient than I'd buy the assemble at home kits.
A 17" X 105' roll of Rootbuilder (that's the actual measurements) allows you to make any size pot you want and then later expand to whatever size you want,..Mark
Wow, the shipping makes me think twice. I priced out a 5-gallon rootbuilder pot, $11.70, shipping is $12.84. more than the cost of the pot itself. Thinking that if I buy a few, shipping would be less. So, for 3 pots, the shipping is $38.53, it's simply 3 times as much. I'll have to look for some place in CA to pick up.
I understand about making the diameter of the pot any size you want by just cutting a longer piece from the roll. What if I want a taller pot? Can I stack 2 pieces together to make a 34" tall pot?Thanks,
Thanks Mark, on update of your long hang Oro Negro fruit it has renewed my hope for one day getting my branch to fruit. Taste sounds yummy
You were right Ed. What is amazing is how fresh it stayed after being cut this time. Have more to go, yay!Yeah, I'd love to see the pix Scott. What type of grafts did you do?
