I think the biggest benefit to boxes goes along with what he's saying but I use them differently. I put my boxes about 1" into a raised bed garden with sqft garden soil setup. It's like a combination of field growing and box training put together and makes my life alot easier
@@BaikoenBonsai I was using a 2.5-foot piece of wire for tying the tree. I coiled it midway around a 2-inch 3mm segment, then ran it from the bottom of the drainage hole through a square plastic mesh. The coiled chunk became more like 5-6mm. That was high enough to rock the box when it's resting on a flat surface.
Thanks guys for doing this episode (and all of the others.) I have most of those tools already. Now I have the perfect reason to get a table saw to add to my tool hoard. I've recently ordered spring loaded corner clamps for some other projects. They may be useful for this project as well. Other than having custom size, would a "grow container" ( a 14.25"square plastic box with the entire bottom consisting of a drainage screen) be an easier solution for smaller trees? I've even used a waiter busing plastic tray with a bunch of large holes drilled into the bottom. It worked very well for a 100 year old azalea I dug up from my yard, using straight kanuma. Roots grew like crazy.
Love thay final shot with the daffodil and blurred subscribe . Very arty
Thanks!

I can’t agree more
Mike knows what he is doing that’s for sure 👍
Better than what I can produce
Well done...both guys. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Nice rectangular boxes. I've made some. I'd like to add some feet to them so that the wires won't cause rocking.
Thank you for watching. Wow how thick of the wires are you using to cause your box to rock?

I need a table saw and an angle saw
Great video on building these boxes. Wondering how long those staples are? Possible to add that here please?
Yes you can! I'll see Michael next Thursday.
That ikadabuki project are pretty interesting. I'll be waiting for the next series
