Default surround the roots with a non-perishable barrier ?!

The text says " surround the roots with a non-perishable barrier "
What do you green fingered gurus recommend?


Paving slabs edge on may be cheaper than a large pot and will do the job.

I dont want it in tubs. Should I bury large plastic crates and plant
in there? If so, what about drainage? If I make holes for water to
get out, so will the roots !

I think its runners going sideways rather than roots going down that are the
problem. A barrier a foot deep should be enough.
