I thought about it, but after reading about the Smart Pots, they seem to be a better choice. They are cheap, help prune the roots, and better aeration. Not to mention aesthetically, they look better than trashcans!

Definitely cheaper than a quality trash can at lowes or home depot.

I have a 25 gal tub & the 30 gal plastic pot is about the same diameter as a trash can. They got rootbound in there. S.Pots are great for nanas cuz they are wide & aren't so deep - like nana roots.

Has anyone have pictures of there matured banana's growing in smart pot? Considering what best pot to use for bringing the nanas in during winter and avoiding root rot.
