Im moving like in a couple days.. aka tomarrow LOL or very very soon

I have 1 - 100 gallon smart pot that I need to move with me.. Anyone have any ideas to moving this smart pot ?..

I was thinking of digging soil out.. and maybe moving the plant to another 20 gallon smart pot ?.. I don't know what to do

I have 2 trees in one 100 gallon pot.. 1 tree is bigger then the other.. aswell.

I'm wondering if the trees roots have breached the bottom of the smart pot...my best suggestion is to get a moving blanket, and a pallet.

Never done this before but i would possibly lift it onto a pallet. Then either get people to help carry the pallet or rent a pallet jack to get it onto a pickup truck. I would guess that the larger smart pots are hard to lift without the pallet, they cave in unless you have even pulling from at least 4 sides.

couple 2x6 's and make a ramp to your pick up truck or use them 2x6 nail some 2x4 size of your bottom place on top of 2 x 6 and have 4 people lift it up
dolly skate board lol so many ways really
your biggest issue is if roots broke through and she is in the ground

Get 4-5 pvc pipes, or abs pipes and roll it.

Even using the frontloader on our tractor, moving the 100gal SPs without taking some soil out hasn't been in the cards. I think that IF you can get the edges raised you can use a combination of Bulldog's idea and the pallet/boards route.

Are you saying it's planted??? I honestly don't see that going well unless you cage it all somehow. Those pots are soft and don't hold their shape, I can see during the process of moving it how you'd shred the root system apart.

I had to move 80 hundred gallon smart pots with four foot tall plants in them last year. How I did it is like this. You take a thick four by eight piece of plywood. On one side of the piece of plywood you drill three one inch holes evenly spread out on the 4 foot side of the plywood . Then cut a couple pieces of thick rope in 3 foot lengths. Put the rope through the hole and tie it in a loop like your making handles to pull a sled. Now get 4 strong men. Let the pot dry out as much as you can. Have all 4 guys try to scoot the pot onto the other side of the wood away from the rope handles. (This is the hardest part) then use all 4 guys to pull the handles and try to gain some momentum to where you are trying to pull it. You could probably slide the wood right up the rails on u haul ramp and into the truck. Keep momentum and if the ground isn't flat you might want to use a quad.
