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.
