I made a big tufa trough few years ago. It's on wheels but too big to come in house. Make one outa wood - good idea but will prolly rot out in few years & then where to store?
We measured those drums & they are 23 - 24 inches across & about 4 ft high. Pot it's in is 24" across.
... 65 gal jackpot is 33" diam & 18" high for $19.95
...and it folds up (I guess) so cheaper to ship.

If M.M. doesn't reply soon, I'll just repot it in same plastic pot. The soil compacted down about 3 inches from the weight of plant. I'll tip it over & pull it out, then add more soil to bottom. I'll "comb" the roots so they go down instead of sideways & we'll have to lift it back into pot. That sucker's gonna be heavy! But, it'll be worth it as it looks more like 4 more weeks being in pot.
If anyone can get ahold of M.M. it would be much appreciated. Thanks
