How often would this beef reporting please. I see it grows very tall. Ass new gardener, I'm Always confused as to what can stay in a pot and what can't. Would this need to go in the ground eventually please?
I used a 30 gallons to. Plant my chirimoya tree I used a grow bag?! Is this good And I want to get more trees Can we use grow bags And is 30 gallons good to get fruit trees??
Compost is a soil amendment. I would not recommend planting directly into compost. Generally a 2” layer is applied to the top of your medium avoiding the trunk. I would also recommend the use of a root inoculant or myco mix when planting.
I have several real tiny apple trees growing right now in peat pots. The roots are starting to come out the bottom. Should I repot in bigger pots and can I leave them in the peat pots or do I need to take them out of that before repotting. They are only about 2-3” tall now. Another question is what do I do with them in the winter months. Should I bring them in a unseated garage or should they stay outside in the pot. Either way what should the water amount be that I give them.
They're called Air-Pot. It's made from recycled plastic and supposedly aids in lateral root development, but the main benefit I see is that it's lightweight, and when the plant has outgrown its container, you can simply loosen the wrapped-around air-pot, rather than buying a new expensive container, though I haven't used one yet.
If an oak sapling was 6 inches above the ground then the roots would be around 12 inches. oaks in pots always have root problems. Best to learn how to alleviate root problems.
Cut the roots down to about half of what it is, shave it down on the sides and bottom but not too much. Cutting the roots away makes it to where it isn't all bunched up causing your roots suffocate over time. I always shave roots away when transplanting pot bound plants.
@@chriss8971 Actually it depends on what your growing. For fruit trees you should never use organic stuff because organic materials decompose over time and will damage the roots. You should use soils made from mostly minerals for permanent plants. for short term plants like tomatoes and such, it’s ok to use organic soils made from wood chips and other organic matter. Do a little research before insulting a random commenter! There are a lot of people on RU-vid, not all professional!
@@aligavary1160 Apologies and thanks for explaining this. It's quite disappointing that the RHS is giving out wrong information. I'm looking to plant some trees in containers so your information is very helpful.
