I still dont understand why standard round or square pots are still predominantly used these days, we’ve know about this for so long, like this was 11 years ago! Like where are all of the good root developing pots!

What are your thoughts about using air pruning beds when people are seeking to grow a high volume of saplings for eco-restoration projects and more specifically Miyawaki pocket-forest projects?

I experimented with air pots this summer and the results were absolutely amazing. I made my own with solo plastic cups with 4 slits cut on the sides and 4 drainage holes on the bottom. Then up to half gallon milk jugs with the same slits and holes. And then into purchased air pots. It’s the way to go.

Bravo!

Do these rules apply to cannabis?

Wow. 🤯

Very informative, thank you.

Good job Mr. Rootmaker man, your years of research will help many tree enthusiast with growing

oh so interesting roots dont girdle other roots they graft to them. this is why they tell you to to not bury your tree deeper than the surrounding soil keep the trunk above ground.

3:44 This is a very good reason to investigate the root structure before planting into the ground or bigger pot. The tangling circling roots will not simply sort itself out. My plant refuses to grow bigger & dying at a gradual pace. After root investigation, it turns out the roots are circling & choking itself to death, it doesnt spread laterally at all. Always check the root structure especially for plants that comes in a small pot. Wash the soil out with gentle spray of water & spread the root manually before planting.

This video has sold me on smart pots thank you good sir

This is a great video, learning everyday 👌🏾

confused about left or right. who's left, my left?

I dont think must people really understand the YEARS of work that went into this research.... WELL DONE !!!!

The root autopsies are very compelling. Thank you for showing them, it makes the difference so clear.

👍👍👍

In my plant primary roots not growing ,what micronutrient is responsible ,plz suggest

Thank you for this wonderful information

Very informative, thank you, nice video.

The information presented here is really compelling for me in regards to planting smaller bare root stock. You can clearly see the root structure, adjust and spread it out as you plant the tree. It might take one year for additional roo development, but then with a known good root structure, those trees can really take off. It is great to plant whips that are less than 6' tall, and for some trees, less than 3' tall. I have a catalpa that I planted as a small 3' transplant a little over 4 years ago. That tree is now ~20' tall and has a great structure (of course you have to prune them) as it has great roots and those trees can grow 5' a year.

Good video 📸

Great extremely details, that others leave out!

OMG that closing statement was savage!

Are there any cross species root graphs?

What I'm taking away from this video is unless all of my trees were started in one of these root starter containers, I am doomed for failure and there's nothing I can do about it. I've watched many videos--yours, Howard's, and a few others--that show you exposing a tree's rootball saying there is no hope for this tree. Although Howard Garrett is a personal hero of mine, I have trouble believing that every tree planted prior to the advent of the awesome root trainer is destined to die young, and there is nothing that can be done about it. What's the real scoop? How do you fix it?

Yeah that root was "shwollen".

At 11:54 minute-point you say the special container-grown trees are "far superior to bare-root seedlings grown in the field." Please explain because I find it perplexing that any pot is better than nature.

What about mycorhizzal fungi in roots, do you use them?

Is there some truth to the idea of a square shape hole in the ground is preferable to a round one as the roots doesn’t grow around but penetrates the soil perpendicularly?

Bigger&better the roots, bigger&better the fruits! Love all the knowledge good Sir! ✌️

I have done experiments with different types of pots. I like shallow and wide rootballs. The best results I had with air pots I think is similar to the root pot type that you are mentioning. I totally agree to make a plant grow. Focus on the roots when the roots is good the rest follows.

man, you know your roots systems! Good work!

This is so simple and yet so amazing.

This is all to sell their root maker product. He makes it seem like you can't transplant any potted plant without his root maker container. Its marketing more than science. KZbin is considered entertainment and any content that claims to be scientific is not required to be accurate.

Wow. Truly impressive work.

are they really more stable compared to a deeper root system?

Thank You

This is an amazing video! Thank you, thank you very much! I’ve learnt a ton about how I can improve my container gardening.

Very interesting and informative.

Great video. Thank you👍

this trash

좋은정보 감사합니다

Thanks

Most of the mix was worshed away

Excellence in video education.

This is my first time enjoying your KZbin channel. Great work! I’m looking forward to more great content from you. How do I save my fabric-pot potted pear trees from root rot?

I agree this video has some great content. But be careful! This is still advertising disguised as an instructional. The title is misleading and should mention the name of the brand and the product. The brand should be in the beginning and the end of the video as well. It's very dangerous to mix these two things together as people let their guard down and end up buying a product without even thinking twice.

This video is a real eye-opener. Fascinating, and explains why some of the trees I planted are only getting going slowly.
