An alternative to wood growing boxes: terracotta?
One of my teachers in California commonly grew his trees in flat terracotta pots rather than growing boxes. They're cheap, easy to work with, and breathe very well. On the other hand, some feel they suck away too much water from the soil.
I've been using them this spring for several prebonsai. Any comments on the relative merits and disadvantages of this approach relative to wooden growing boxes?
