I learned how easy it is to grow seedlings (for root stocks or other) in a storage bin. I used one 14 inches deep for Chestnuts and Hazelnuts, and a 16 inch deep one for Pecans. Not only do the roots have room to stretch, but also the plants are easy to separate after turning out the whole bin. Beats digging and less root damage. I look for a heavy duty one like the black ones from Home Depot, but the best are bins I can buy from the waste recycling program here for 5 bucks each.
