Hey a mug has a handle too!
In my experience sometimes having just a little something extra to hold on to is worth it. I've drop some plants before thinking I had a good grasp on them........and I can palm a basketball too
It isn't fun when you break some branches cause a tree fell.

Second tree to go into the other box is my Jim Doyle Mikawa Yatsabusa JM. I was originally going to airlayer under what I was told to be a witches broom but instead I have now decided to make that branch a feature branch and change the orientation of the tree from an upright to a semi cascade. I have never done this and maybe someone with my low experience shouldn't have attempted this but I felt the best way to learn is to jump in with both feet. When I was raking the roots out I noticed there was styrofoam under the top layer of dirt, I cut back maybe a little less than a third of the roots to get the majority of it out, I couldn't get it all out. I was unable to center it better in the pot with out taking more roots off so I did my best. After putting top dressing on I noticed a few roots sticking out of the surface so I covered it all with moss.

Wooden shipping pallets are often free. The wood is a good deal tougher than pine boards and doesn't split like cedar fence boards can. Check craigslist.

I didn't use cedar fence boards, wanted something thicker, thanks for the suggestion but all i own is a hammer and some nails, not really looking to buy a bunch of tools.

Necro-post, but just wanted to share the boxes I built for the upcoming season. 2x6ish deck boards with 1x3 feet so the boxes kinda look like they're floating.

Here’s my share of wooden pot pictures. Took me 2.5 hours to build 12 boxes of various sizes. The brad nailer/stapler helped a lot.
