[IBC] Priorities in bonsai design
Do to cost considerderation (and actual in-ground space limitations), I went
to K-Mart (Wal-Mart, Target, whatever) and bought a number of the larger clear plastic storage containers. You can get them in fairly large sizes - much wider/longer than deep and some even have "feet" to raise them from the ground and handles to carry them. Then drill, melt or poke drainage holes in them. I've got a couple of trees from the nursery growing out in them and one fairly large Yew that I dug up that is recovering in one of the big ones. I plan on using this type of container on quite a few of the trees I'll be trunk thickening starting in the spring. Depending on the size you need, Jim's suggestion is probably the cheapest - buy the REALLY cheap large plastic pots at a nursery and cut them down to half the height.

Most of all my "growing-on" trees are in cut-down plastic pots. Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Our life is frittered away by detail . . . . Simplify!
