bamboo skewers
buckets... lots of buckets
I pot my S/H in just about anything, I found a really big pickle jar that someone was just gonna throw away... one mans trash is a chid lovers treasure, My Cym fit PERFECTLY... it was deep enough for the roots and the mouth was wide enough to get the rootball in without damage. I was so excited
