Well times getting away so i have decided to remove my trainers

from the ground and root prune /trim

then plant them back into 350mm grow bags in the original beds . With plans put on hold i will still have the opportunity to simple lift out the bags to cart the tree's away , may need to severe a root or two that escapes into the ground

. Rather time consuming but with these bags its the easiest way to make a larger container into a smaller tray . I could lash out and buy orchid pots or cut down plastic pots , but grow bags can simply be rolled down to what ever height required and seem to stand up to the test of time . I purchased 100 of these and only used a few , many years ago , now they have a purpose i had best get out there and get back into it , if i manage 10 a day i should have them all out in a month .

Cheers Alpineart
