He, he, yeah thanks Carey, we keeping a look out for the nursery plastic container bags. Them recyclable ones, (any ol'thing) ain't gonna hold up for us with about 80 plants..
And thanks noel, but 80 to go at our rental for now, da landlord would not like that, he he.
And yup on the taking care of the roots.. Ca H.S. requirement Ag-1 back in the 70's, was not a complete waist of time, I guess, or maybe I was listening whenever we weren't pitching pennies, or goofing off.. . I knifed a few to near death, ha. No but we did find a couple of large arecas in yard sales that had been in pots longer than you'd think they could survive. Roots so twisted and bound up, who needs a pot to hold them in once the roots have formed their own.. One in particular, you'd think the roots ate the soil that WAS obviously in there. Guess they squeezed it out. However, wit patience untwisting most of the roots and chopping some of the rest of de ball, me tinks they'll start becoming some happy trees.
We bought 40 portacarpis (sp), bargain basement from a grower who should have transplanted them last year or so. they are 4 ft tall in 1 gallon pots.. Seems we kind-a got a little ahead of our selves. Expected to be completely finished grading, but ran into a small snag, (did somebody say neighbor?) ha and finishing the grading or preparing the areas to plant these in, is gonna be a while now.. So got ta get them into something they can get healthy in, other than just drowning em with water, daily.
