Ken, I totally agree with you and Tiffany. Wait, I already said that.

But that's not my point. (And I said that, too: But this, unrelated to the premise....).
----- That means notwithstanding drainage issues, growing media, perched water tables, etc.
(I'm sorry, I should know by now that I need to spell my thoughts out in completely unmistakeable terms.)
My point is that there are small, confined root pockets in nature. Again, unrelated to the discussion of drainage, waterlogged soil, soil type, etc.

I don't recall ever mentioning plastic, but there are certainly natural, exposed rock pockets (with and without drainage holes), and those composed of other substances similar in properties to fired clay. These are common occurrences.

Such a wide sweeping statement as "there are no pots in nature" is quite comprehensive, and I just thought one might want to examine the implications beyond the narrow prospective of what was discussed. If you say there is hardly anything in nature that could be described as a small confined root pocket, that's fine. I just take a different view. Smiling But I think this is all just a misunderstanding.
