       4 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said connectors comprise a plurality of rings.  
   
   
       5 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 4  wherein each descending ring is a wider diameter than a ring immediately above it.  
   
   
       6 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 5  wherein each said descending ring has a top edge and a bottom edge and wherein a diameter of top edge is smaller than a diameter of said bottom edge.  
   
   
       7 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said mesh-like bag is biodegradable.  
   
   
       8 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said mesh-like bag further comprises a reinforced band.  
   
   
       9 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said connectors comprise a plurality of hook formed by where a plurality of legs meets.  
   
   
       10 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 9  wherein said mesh-like bag comprises a plurality of handles wherein each of said plurality of handles fit around a respective each of said plurality of handles.  
   
   
       11 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said connectors comprises a removable support ring.  
   
   
       12 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 11  wherein said mesh-like bag further comprises a seam through which said removable support ring is placed.  
   
   
       13 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 12  wherein said removable support ring is connected to said plurality of connectors.  
   
   
       14 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 11  wherein said mesh-like bag further comprises excess material at a top end that is placed around said removable support ring.  
   
   
       15 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 14  wherein said connectors comprises a stationary top ring and wherein said removable support ring is connected to said stationary top ring.  
   
   
       16 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein each of said plurality of legs further comprises a base.  
   
   
       17 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 16  wherein said base is perforated to allow an anchoring device to pass therethrough.  
   
   
       18 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 16  wherein said base provides an expanded surface area to contact said surface.  
   
   
       19 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said mesh-like bag comprises more surface area with no material than material comprising said bag.  
   
   
       20 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said mesh-like bag further comprises an interior lining.  
   
   
       21 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 20  wherein said interior lining comprises a natural fibered material that a root may penetrate.  
   
   
       22 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein each of said plurality of legs is inserted into a ground surface.  
   
   
       23 . The plant growing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein a distance between said surface and said container is maintained to insure airflow around all outer surfaces of said container.  
   
   
       24 . A method of air-root pruning and insuring a vertical growing plant, said method comprising: 
 (a) providing a container that has more surface area with no material than material comprising said container;    (b) providing support legs that connect to said container near a top of said container;    (c) suspending said container above a surface that said support legs rest upon;    (d) allowing said container to move from a vertical starting position and to sway when wind is applied against said container;    (e) returning said container to said starting position when said wind has ceased    (f) controlling root growth in every direction a root may grow with air-root pruning.    
   
   
       25 . The method of  claim 24  wherein providing said container further comprises providing said container that permits air-root pruning of a root system to occur.  
   
   
       26 . The method of  claim 25  wherein providing said container further comprises providing an interior linear that is penetratable by a root system wherein once said interior linear is penetrated, said root system encounters air-root pruning.
