Got another one?
I didn't know bottomless pots were a "new" invention. I've cut bottoms out of torn pots several times and used them in this fashion. I wouldn't spend a nickle on buying one. If you insist on trying them and you are like me ie you change your mind where you want your pots, don't put anything big like a tree in them. You'll end up cutting the pot to get to the roots. I think their best use is for annuals on top of soil that is otherwise hard pan.
