I like to grow some of my figs in containers,but it hard to find cotainers that size that are more heavy duty. There are some pictures that i have seen from forum members that grow there figtree's in containers with these dimensions:22"x161/2", not bigger then 24". I appreciate help.

Try a plastic food-grade 55 gallon drum and cut it down to the size y0ou want. Many are blur in color.

I recently ordered some containers from GrowSmart - specifically 724830 Premium Nursery Pot 15 Gallon.  Appears to be very well made.  Sale price in Oct was $6.88 per container.    Web site is http://www.growsmarthydroponics.com/Premium-Nursery-Pot-15-Gallon-_p_4737.html

I read the article written by Bill Muzychk, owner of Bill's fig and like his aproach just wat i like to do.Heavy duty containers to be used in and out the garage on wheels. I like to plant my tree's in the ground where possible and that is why i only have such a small variety. This year i was given 9 varieties new to me, not knowing how hardy they are for my area. I have just 3 kinds of figs growing for the last 20 years or more(hardy Chicago,Desert king,magnolia) in multiples totaling about 18 tree's. This year and last year temps got to 4 degrees below zero and that was just to much for them. Usely temps in the winter dips to about 6 or so degrees and that will be ok for my tree's. I did left a few limbs just to see if they would rebound, with heavy damage to them ,they recoup and produced new growth and some figs.

I still feel like an outsider in this forum because the overwhelming amount of stuff about figs and the guys that grow them.The enthuseasment that these guys and gals  have is something else!! Beeing 75 i can only wish.I also grow  a lot of different fruits,asian persimmon,paw paw,pears,plums and a couple other minor stuff, and that keep me very busy.

I use to grow my tree's with three trunks, now i cut them down to the ground(nothing showing) and let the new growth start from the ground up.

They are easier to bend down if you expect a severe cold front coming. I weight them down with cinder blocks or extra topsoil bags from my raised gardens and cover with leaves.I am allowed 80 bags a year for my raised garden, it is hell to be on a fixed income friends.

Luak, have you emailed Bill directly and asked him about the source for his containers?  Or perhaps someone on the forum knows?  I've been thinking about trying to duplicate his container/two wheel transportation system also so I am eager to get this information.

Try Craigslist. Search for "barrel". Usually you can get plastic food-grade 55 gallon barrel for $20-25 - that's two really nice planters. And you may even paint them from outside.

Bill uses Smartware( http://smartwareproducts.com/recycled-garden-pots.html) half barrels. You can get them online at home depot for $50 each or you can get them from Bill with or without watering system. I also bought his little trolley which is great. I have about 30 of them and they are pretty durable. They will mark up light colored paver stones if you have a patio.

I am going to try the 55 gls barrels and cut them to size and finish the barrels like Bill is doing his, sounds like a economycal project.
