How would you keep these intact in the bed of a truck while moving?


Moving soon, only probably an hour away from where I'm at. I'm hoping I don't have to chop the big 3

    Rolled in yoga mats on their side slap it twice and say ‘that ain’t going nowhere’

    if you can find a good amount of cardboard and tape it around them that seems to work for me

    back roads really slow. make that 1 hour trip into 2-3.

    Cardboard and carpet wrap, stack them sideways tightly from the ground up. This usually results in fewer pokes and casualties than upright. The spikey ones sway and will absolutely destroy each other in transport.

    I’d unpot them and lay them down in the bed/back

    Wrap them snugly in cardboard, tape secure, transport horizontally 👍

    Lay on their side, wrapped in something with cushion/give.

    They are gonna get scarred, accept it. move them the easiest way and less amount of pokes to your epidermus.

    Pool noodles work. Cut them down the middle. Strap the pots together and secure them in back of truck, gently tie stalks together with pool noodles between them, id try and keep them all pretty tight. Less sway id assume

    While I’m not at all serious & wish you good luck with the move, kinda surprised not to see a “send them to me, I’ll handle it” reply..

    You all are good people!!
