The resultant increase in and finer roots are meant to help the plant establish much more quickly when planted out I believe.<br /><br />Becca - lots and lots of air holes. Glad you like my compost bags!<br /><br />EG - I think that's why we're testing to see if they'll work as planters. When Martyn posted his answer to his mystery picture, he had Orach growing in his, so it looks like at least one of us has had previous success with using them this way.<br /><br />Anna and HM - I might post an interim photo soon as the plants have romped away in my absence. It depends if I can find a spot to fit it in amongst all the others crowding into my brain at the moment ;)<br /><br />Maggi - there's quite a few photos and reports over at Gardeners' Click for you to look at already.<br /><br />Monica - container planting works very well as the volunteers that are growing in my compost bin up at the allotment over the past few years will testify!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-16015461976938545282009-06-05T12:42:10.752+01:002009-06-05T12:42:10.752+01:00That looks very interesting.

Like you I think that watering would be a problem - and more wasteful come to that.

Like you I have only heard of them for trees before, though I have bought tiny bedding plants in plastic 'nets' which are really ridged plastic - same principle? I worry when the roots met the outside air instead of soil, but they still seemed to grow and transplant well. I run out of small pots for seedling and re-used some, they did seem to be better plants.<br /><br />Best wishes SylviaSylvia (England)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14658826538568918452noreply@blogger.com
