I just notice in your second picture, you use the fabric breathable bags. do you notice any differences in growing rate and root system? I'm lazy and a cheapskate atm, so I just drill 1/4" hole in all my pots every 1/2" or so all around the pots. I don't know if they will work , as, I just did it two weeks ago. Might be next spring, before, I can find out, if my cheap ways will do the same as those bags and air pot/smart pot does.
