Open Show & Tell , Outdoors 2014

How deep and wide do you guys dig your outdoor holes?
I just had something unexpected happen! My plants in the ground are not as big as the plants in I put in Shopping Bags ... you know the save-plastic-use-this-expensive-type-bag they have in supermarkets these days! I didn't expect the ladies to like them as MUCH AS THEY DO! They are LOVING being in bags................ Strange! All different Strains too.... the ones in Bags r all bigger than the ones in the Ground.... huh..... un.ex.pec.ted. xxmissxx
 
I dig mine the same size as Fresno.
3 ft x 3 ft x 2 ft deep, then place my raised bed box on top and fill. We use straight coastal compost in ours, no other additives.

I cheat though and use the Kubota.

I might have to go 2x2x2 ill measure tomorrow but I can still do a raised bed on top....cheers for the advice guys
And I also have geo fabric to line the hole with
 
Raised beds are the beez knees. If I ever raise my fenceline then i will do raised beds. The plants love the large holes too man. Hardly any yellowing at all and they are almost through with flowering. Large holes = more root space = more available nutrients and water = better quality buds and higher yield..

Yep and thats why my hole is gonna get lined with geo fabric ive never done it before but I think it should be ok
 
Wouldn't Geo Fabric stop the roots from being able to stretch their legs if the plants decide to grow into monsters?
Im not sure mate so im happy to take on advice about it I guess im thinking its like a smart pot in the ground but I can see what your saying I guess geofabric is used to stop weeds coming thru as well so maybe I would be wrong to line the hole like that.
