will cutting out the bottom of a plastic pot make my plants thrive?

Last spring, I had this wild idea: what if I snipped the bottom off a nursery pot and set it right on my garden bed? I popped a tomato seedling inside, hoping it would get cozy in the pot first, then stretch its roots into the earth below. Turns out, it worked better than I imagined. The pot kept the soil warm and moist, and my little plant had a head start. As it grew, its roots slipped through the open bottom and spread out into the garden. I barely had to transplant, and my tomatoes were the first to ripen. Now, I use this trick for peppers and even some flowers. It’s a simple hack that makes gardening feel like magic every time. #gardeningtips #planttricks #growyourown #backyardhacks #Gardening
