Root pouches have several benefits. It promotes better soil aeration and draining, although the disadvantage is it would dry faster.
The second benefit is what we call air-pruning. As the plants roots reaches the edges they will be in contact with more air and will stop growing instead of going round and round inside the pot and creating root bound. You can grow larger plants in pouches smaller than plastic pots.
I LOVE gardening at night too, but it's a little dangerous here in Asia when the bitey critters are out to play too, esp the scorpions and the snakes. Nothing like a cobra in your veggie patch.... haha.... Suddenly feel to go for a moonlight wander! :)
Aha! A true night owl but isn't it a little unconventional to be near plants at night? According to my science class in highschool, plants release carbon dioxide as the result of their respiration system. Hence, I don't think that's healthy for our respiration system. What's your opinion on that?
I don’t think this would be a big issue as this is in open air. Maybe that could be an issue with an indoor plantation but I doubt so.
Plant respire and release CO2 at all time of the day but it is only during day time that they receive light and photosynthesis occurs during which O2 is also released.
Although I can't open the ABC page, but I searched on that phrase and I came across several interesting article about indoor plantation and Co2.
Also yes, now that I think about it, there are people who live among plants and even on trees. So next time someone telling me about " it's dangerous to have plantation indoor" I might have to drop some bombs.
Nowadays, you have to countercheck everything. I regularly question my own beliefs and knowledge and check for scientific papers.
But even then it is not guaranteed that the research was done 100% correctly or that the research might be invalidated by another research in several years.
Sometimes I do drunken night weeding. It's fun and takes half the time. Then you wake up in the mornign and think: 'Who the hell weeded my garden?' - it's brilliant, I highly recommend it.

I want a curry tree!! Why are you growing everything in pouches? Do you move things inside or to a greenhouse during the winter?

We have so little rain that my strategy is growing in the ground with lots of mulch - or wicking beds...

Hahaha yea, you won’t be alone for sure in your garden at night.

Gosh that's an interesting angle!! It kinda doesn't make sense though, because what about people who live in jungles? Where would they sleep at night?
:-D yeah now that I think about it, I guess my teacher was sort of short-sighted?
I think your teacher just is like most people: we learn but don’t often update our knowledge.

Haha yes that probably is the case. I am still laughing about monkeys falling from the trees because they are low on oxygen at night haha xx

That’s not nice to laugh from monkey’s mishaps 😅

Yeah but you're laughing... he he
😂 I am sorry this is just so funny!

Plant respire and release CO2 at all time of the day but it is only during day time that they receive light and photosynthesis occurs during which O2 is also released.
But plants are absorbing more CO2 than they emit according to research:

They won’t produce harmful amount of CO2
As @riverflows said, there are people and many animals that lives among plants and on trees.

We never really finish learning 😊

I initially read “drunken night wedding” lol.
If you drink too much, you’ll produce a very strong herbicide too! 😰 ... 😂😂
I don’t drink but maybe I should call some friends, but them beers and suggest a fun game in the garden called “who weeds the best” 😂

AH!! Now you're talking! I'm not sure they'd fall for it though...
