They promote lots of side shoots for roots and stop the rootball curling around the inside of the pot. They're used by commercial nurseries for larger plants such as trees. I must remember to ask Tom the 'rule(s)' for what makes a plant more suited to an air pot instead of the more usual pots we see.<br /><br />I trialled air pots for growing veg a few years back - results were variable amongst those of us involved in the trial. I've yet to see them available to gardeners, though I'm sure someone will pipe up now and tell me they're available in their garden centre ;)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-42081653906937275782014-03-11T09:49:59.294+00:002014-03-11T09:49:59.294+00:00I love nurseries at any time of year, but what fun...I love nurseries at any time of year, but what fun to see it all ready to go but still mostly winterish.

Interesting that he uses so many root trainer pots - is that what they are, the bumpy looking things?Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.com
