Many casualties in my gardens graveyard(compost heap) due to overpotting!
Thanks! I should not worry about 25 gal vs. 15 gal until years later then.
Repotting makes me very uneasy, probably that's why I wanted to start with large pots :/
I do put dollies underneath to help with drainage and to make them easy to move around for cleaning and other patio maintenance.
Dollies! Excellent idea

I have used plastic bags that cost me pennies, and plastic pots that came with the plants. Check craigslist...
OUCH on the precious lemon tree, hope you still managed to plant another one! Haha no indoor plants except phal orchids.
I once had a paper flower (bougainvillea) planted in heavy duty black garbage bag which in turn was placed in a milk crate. It was really mobile haha.
Yes I will likely get nursery pots in various sizes off craigslist.
...(potato grow bags) aren't that esthetically appealing but I tend to bury them to 90% in the ground during the summer anyways.
Haha that's an option too. I wonder if I should plant the berries in bags then bury them, to minimize the berries' acidic fertilizer from affecting nearby plants?
