What brilliant ideas, thank you very much for sharing your experience ! Your creativity has always a very practical touch and the simplicity of the solutions inspire me.
Oh thank you so much! I've been wondering how I might build my own and hadn't done it thinking it would not be strong enough. Now I have the encouragement to tackle building my own large pots.🥰
because of you I had my husband cut the bottom off one of our larger pots and have a wisteria in it that i'm training as a tree. Having the automatic height really supports the look. I now want to do this for an apple tree potted on our patio. It does provide immediate height and would allow the roots access to nutrient soil below. Also don't have to struggle with the roots from an old maple tree that used to be there if we tried to plant it in the ground :) Thank you and CHEERS!
Brilliant, thankyou! I've been thinking about this since watching your baseless pot videos. I'm just too nervous to attempt cutting a clay pot, & only have a drill so not sure if it would just crack!! Excellent series on this idea, thankyou so much for sharing.
You’re so creative and inspiring! I a curious though if you have ever had to deal with a bottomless pot breaking around an established tree maybe by the upper roots. If yes, how did you deal with that situation? Thank you.
Bunny since I’ve started watching your videos I don’t throw anything away without thinking can I use this to hold a plant I was given two galvanized tubs because they leaked. Next step etching!
I'm relying on ye olde black car tyres in various sizes for my circular, primarily black pots in my rear garden. Some pots still have bases, as I've not yet decided where to place them permanently.
Today I following your advise, built a pot for my espalier apple tree. I built it out of old scrap wood so didn’t spend any money on it, but as I was almost done, I started thinking about our winters. It’s not like winters in UK, even now we still have piles of snow in a shade and it’s already mid April. Won’t roots freeze? Do I need to insulate it? We are in high altitude, 1100 meters above sea level, plants are struggling here in dry Colorado, I’m fighting for my right to have a garden, not an empty scorched yard, and want to provide the best for my plants. Mentioned apple tree survived it’s first winter.
Hello Bunny. I am fascinated with your baseless pots and have watched all your videos on it. But I have a concern about winter survival. I live in the US in the mountains of North Carolina, zone 6B. We get very high winds here in our area (appropriately called Roaring Gap!) and sometimes continue for several days in the 20-50 mph range, and temps in the winter can get into the single digits, close to 0 degrees F. We don’t get enough deep snow to help insulate the pots. Do you know of anyone else who has baseless pots in similar harsh weather that has found that plants will survive? Boxwoods and small holly that I have tried in pots with bottoms always die. I think the roots freeze? Any thoughts or suggestions? PS, I love your channel!
Not sure about root freeze, as thankfully it doesn’t get that cold with us. You could always try wrapping the baseless pots in the winter, with wadding as well as fleece & tarp (to keep your insulation dry), to keep them that bit warmer, for the first couple of years until they have got their roots properly down. But I’m guessing that you will have tried that … What I do know is that baseless pots are great in wind. Before Bunny got into baseless pots 25+ years ago, we would go out and re-stand up the standard laurels in their terracotta pots, when had blown over in the wind. Since they have been in baseless pots that hasn’t been an issue, as the roots have rooted down, and kept the pots stabilised, no matter how fast the wind.
@@unityguinness6662 thank you very much Unity. I plan to try wrapping this winter for the large pots that tend to root freeze. If that works, I’ll forge ahead and try a couple of baseless pots. It’s such a fabulous idea! Bunny has me hooked on them! I retired 6 years ago and fell in love with gardening. I am ever so grateful for all I have learned from Bunny who shares all she knows so clearly with us novices. She makes us say, “ hey, I can do that!” God bless her for her love of gardening and for the desire to share with the world. It’s so appreciated👏👏
I have lost count of the number of people I know who have copied Bunny's Baseless Pots... they are a brilliant concept ❤❤
I absolutely love watching your videos. I've learned so much from you in a very short period of time.

So many clever ideas !!! Thank you !💚🌿🌳

So Many fantastic ideas... and across the board design for the poor to the rich gardeners‼️💗
Bunny your ingenuity is really inspiring.
Love your videos :)
Great Ideas.... Thanks.
Glad you like them! 🐇

Doesn’t sound so harsh to me. You might try plants rated two zones colder (zone 4).
@@krisbaker9427 that’s a good idea Kris. Thanks! That may work. Still windburn is always a problem up here!

Can you provide a link to the maker of the plastic forms?
