I'm in northern colorado, we get a fair bit of snow most seasons.  Otherwise, I'd be all about the ground 

Was reading about a double pot idea that was pretty cool, where you bury one pot then just drop your potted trich in it during the growing season, pull it out during the off season, I bet the magnetics of the earth still help a bit even if it isn't rooted in the ground.

I think the smaller pots will be ok up to a point, about 2 feet of growth.  I'm just wondering whats goin on with the roots.  Will they keep growing and eventually get rootbound?  Or stop growing because of the constant harvests...focusing on upward growth?

Feels good to get to know them so well.

Peace
