I was thinking of ways to maximize root growth in a given area, and I thought custom made cubical containers would be most efficient in space while allowing plenty of room for root growth. If 1 plant per square foot is started, assume with the edges of the container that the dimensions of soil room is 10.5in by 10.5in... with just 18 inches of height in soil space there would be almost 9 gallons of room for the medium.
My question is, would there be any problems with using wood for building the container? I can't see what would be wrong with it but I'm not sure if there's any possible risks when soil is packed against wood for several months. Just want to make sure before I make my own pots that end up corroding after a month.
