Pots and bags and containers, oh my!

One man thrash is another man fortune. I would love to find such size. Talking about treasure a few day ago, I found 2 14-15 gallon containers. Bottom have minor damage, but usable. Yesterday found 3.2 gallon in perfect condition. Looking to up pot avocado or put mandarin seedling in the big pots.

I ended up cutting two 15g bags per @Gkight suggestion to transplant (so much easier than my first attempt to get tree out of bag). I had planned on reusing the bags and don’t want to trash the scraps. Makes me concerned about the 10 other bags I have to transplant out of this fall and don’t want to waste. Thinking about using them for the internet-famous snail seedling rolls or sewing tubes for use in crates. Anyone reused this fabric?

If you’re determined to reuse them (depending how you cut them) you could probably stitch them back with some fishing line. As any thread would decompose too fast. Just a thought as I’ve never tried that but I don’t see how it couldn’t work well enough if they aren’t being moved constantly.

Good point about thread. I won’t remake them whole. I threw them in the wash and cut them into scraps to use for something smaller. FYI they (root pouches) wash and dry well.
