Net pot equivalent to coco pot help.

[goofy81]

Hi
I'm interested in going the EBB and flow method.
The thing is i grow quite large plants (5-6feet high). I'm currently using COCO in 50 litre pots (13.2 gallons).

Now from what i've seen of the ebb+flow, the net pots (to hold up the roots) are quite small. What would i need to grow a large plant?

OR! have i got it all wrong? and a small net pot is not restricted, is it the case where i just have to tie the entire plant so it doesn't topple over when it gets large?

cheers.

Do you still plan to grow large trees in E&F?

You could use smartpots full of coco it will make for a platform for a large plant.

Ebb and flow buckets,go as big as you want to!
8 to ten inch net pots.

Or use the bucket as a net pot for large rubbermaid type totes

It just needs tying i guess.
