Most of these fibers pots are 30 gallon. I have a couple of 35s and one big pot that's a 65 gallon.
But Surely if you got the room to run in the ground absolutely run it.
Dig down about 16" or 20" inches deep then your custom soil in.
A Seed plants will have a tap Root and go a little bit deeper than what a clone will.
A clone will spread out over a larger area.
If I was to plant in the ground again with a clone.
I would dig up area about
6ft x 6ft x 16" to 20" inches deep.
I mite line the perimeter with untreated wood.
If I was worried about woodchucks or animals that burrow down eat the roots.
I would just put some chicken wire at the bottom of the dugout hole.
If I had sandy soil I might buy one of those cheap tarps or landscape plastic. Punch a bunch of small holes in the liner and line the hole at the very bottom and then put my custom soil on top of it to help retain my water so I didn't lose the water so quickly.
If I had good soil to work with that was already in the property.
Then I would just amend that soil and use about 30% lava rock or expanded clay pellets, or pee stone, throw in a couple bales of Coco Cairo and then a buttload of amendments and a lot of worm castings and biochar, Eggs and fish guts, all the vegetable matter and composted cow manure and horse manure, sheep, alpaca, llama, all you can put into your hole you name it, put in all the good stuff that support the microbe life and live worm's.
Yeah that'd be a good setup. You mite be able to grow a large yielding plant.
