Interesting bottom pot technique.

Interesting bottom pot technique.

Hundreds of those little 4" pots were in a shed at our house when I bought it. Realized a couple years ago that a 9" liner fits right into there, tight enough that it won't fall off. Works better than trying to put stuff in the bottom of the liner to keep the soil from falling out.

Got my 4 plants Matt - really nice - thanks for getting these up to me!

Now we'll see if I can germinate my own as well...but nice to have the head start with these. :)

Yes, bought some stuff from Matt when I made a road trip out to San Diego this spring. AMAZING back yard & Palm garden!

All the stuff I got from you is going strong here in the Midwest, and the Juba seedling you threw in seems to like it here as well. Purple Kings? inside te house and steady growers.

one thing Perry from SLOpalms told me is use a 2x4 for the larger liners and a 2x2 for the smaller ones and mash a couple of inches of soil in the bottom and really compact it. i did this for a few plants and put them in a milk crate and all the soil is still intact after a year. but using those 4" pots is genius but i think i've given up using deep pots or tall liners because of my native soil
