Yeah, one of the books I read talked about this. I seemed to have not bought that one, but the idea was the same. They had you taping the roots (which seemed odd) to the rock, then burying it up to its normal state in sand, and then letting it go like that for a year.

I keep going back and forth on the root over rock, because I wonder if as my first... if it would be a little much for me, and if I shouldn't stick to something simple, get the feel of everything, and then go from there. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, I can always do root over rock later - if not with another tree. I don't have the room for another tree right now (one tree, plus my cat grass and my catnip is almost too much for my space).

No matter the case, I've kinda loosened up the soil so that will get me through till I can find a nursery with the appropriate items I need.
