Customscreenpot.jpgphotocustomscreenpot.jpg

One of the reasons I made custom porch screen pots is to be able to make soil very fluffy again , after soil settles down and becomes too dense for roots to penetrate downwards . Periodically I have to squeeze in and up , below the root zone , so that the root zone and top of soil returns to the original very fluffy state that it was originally in the beginning of planting small seeds of Wildflower . Wildflower seeeds are very small and require very very fluffy soil in order for the very small weak tap roots to grow down and out and not die . The drawback of this custom screen pot exposes soil to too much air that comes in through the screen on the sides of the pot , which kills roots eventually . This forces me to water from the sides . The soil is prefertilized coco coir and 20 % perlite , so I also spray sides with Nitrogen Urea mixed with water , to provide energy to plant and prevent excessing air to reach the roots through the screen .

Too return root zone and top of the soil I tilt the pot 45 degrees to sideways and squeeze the bottom of the flexable screen pot . I work the soil up and the tilt of the pot makes it easier to work the soil at the bottom of the pot , upwards towards the top . The result is to make the top half of the soil back to a very fluffy state . Eventually , my long term goal is to find a method in larger containers to keep the soil in the root zone in a very fluffy state . Maybe I can placd a piece of plastic over the top of the soil and turn a one gallon pot almost sideways and squeeze the soil at the bottom and work the soil up . In other words I will built one gallon or two gallon pots out of porch screen and use the same method I used on the smaller 12 ounce pots , to keep the soiil very fluffy in the root zone . Does turning a larger pot upside down work ? If i create a jig to prevent soil from falling out of the pot ? I guess so .
