How the Air-Pot works

[@drishratdar]

Excellent information and presentation

[@pepperpotdi]

Brilliant video, told me everything I wanted to know.

[@kmv3280]

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing. Good luck 👍

[@goodtogrow7774]

I'm growing 4 plants in air pots right now for the 1st time. How they really work this well!

[@gioknows]

Wonderful. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada.

[@OffGridInvestor]

Great. I'm going to try making pots by sewing up big fabric cylinders. Seeing I already have hundreds of meters of cloth.

[@DominateTheGame]

Now I understand. Thank you.

Awesome infomation

from where.... you are shooting all around places, ... from where?

[@drinks_editor]

can i ask? What Tree is this? 2:06 is it fruit tree? and what name of this tree?

[@majestictrees7611]

do you mean the tree in the video at 2:06 minutes in? It is a weeping willow I believe. Latin name Salix. Most likely the golden weeping willow (Salix x sepalcralis 'Chrysocoma').

@@majestictrees7611 Yes the video in 2:06 minutes... Thank you very much madam/Sir for your reply and info about this tree... *thumbs up*

what happens when the air temperature gets 95-100F? Most plants suffer in that heat. Do air-pots mitigate some of the heat problem?

[@majestictrees7611]

Hi there, although we are situated just north of London and rarely experience temperatures of that magnitude your point is well taken. The black colour does radiate heat into the pot and for our temperature range, this is an advantage as the warmth encourages growth; however, there is definately a risk to 'cooking' the roots once the temperatures rises beyond 30C/86F. It would be an interesting conversation to have with Air-Pot themselves, to see what their thoughts are. Perhaps a white pot with black inside could be a solution?

[@crazysquirrel9425]

@@majestictrees7611 just had another 48C/101F day today. Just at hot tomorrow and the next day too Then drop down to a reasonable temp then right back up to HOT again (sheesh). Air-Pots are using a little more water but not as much as I expected them to. I use IV drip on 3 of them and 2 litre soda bottles with string on some of the others. Plants seems a little stressed but not too much (Tomato plants mostly). May have to find a digital probe thermometer I think.

[@crazysquirrel9425]

@@majestictrees7611 Currently I see NO difference between a a tomato plant in an Air-Pot and those in the ground. In fact, one of my pepper plants are wilting in an Air-Pot. Soils is wet too and we haven't waters in weeks.

[@fabiulaalves2414]

Can I continue use the air pots to grow the tree without planting in the soil?

[@majestictrees7611]

To an extent, yes. However, the AirPot isn't a hard barrier, meaning the tree's roots will eventually (especially with larger and more vigorous species) break open the pot. This can be tempered by controlling the upper growth. Meaning for instance a cloud-pruned, bonzai-kept hornbeam will have less root output than a natural hornbeam tree and can therefor be kept longer in a certain size of AirPot. So, how long you can keep them in one AirPot depends on what tree and if you restrict its growth. You can, of course (as we do on the nursery), repot them by taking off the old AirPot collar and replacing it with a bigger (longer) one, leaving a 5-10cm gap between the old rootball and the new AirPot edge, and filling the gap with new soil/compost.

Airpot is awesome❤😊

[@sgtjenko]

Watering from the bottom looks problematic to me as the bottom tray is so high up? I need to use a plant dish would this be a problem?

[@majestictrees7611]

Hi Simon, Air-Pots are designed for top irrigation but they can be watered from the base in some cases. It depends how big the pot is and what kind of compost you're using. It would work for smaller pots which have a good capillary action compost plus a wetting agent. It's also important to bear in mind that most absorption roots will be at the edges or the surface rather than the base, which mainly has anchoring roots, but it does depend on species.

There's organic mosquito repellent on the market, now. Drops right into the sitting water.

these pots are ugly and they do not last very long. when i am not using them they take tons of space to store. fabric pots are far better for a home user. however for the city and trees these are better.

[@majestictrees7611]

Hi there, and thank you for your comment. We agree, these pots definately don't score high in the aesthetic sense, but they're a functional system primarily used by industry growers, although they can most certainly be utilised by home users. Regarding storage, we unfold the pot and stack them flat packed, taking up very little space. Their lifespan varies, depending on root vigor, but on average we re-use them for 5 growing seasons before they're recycled. We are trialing fabric pots in our smaller hedging range, as these come with practicle handles, and can be lowered down into the tree pit without removal, decomposing over time; however, as of yet, we haven't experienced as good of a root development as with the AirPots.

[@FirstLast-numba1]

@@majestictrees7611 after doing tons of research I have changed my mind and decided that these pots are better than fabric.

[@whytho8714]

Go fabric not air pots

[@LorenzoRM85]

air pots are superior

[@majestictrees7611]

We've thoroughly trialled fabric alternatives alongside Air-Pots and have found, for our purposes, that the Air-Pot system is far surperior. That's not to say that fabric pots don't have their advantages and may be better for other growing systems, they're just not for us.

[@NotHumant8727]

I find roots in airpots better structured as there are even spaced out holes that roots grow to.
