A plant growing method, including the steps of: planting the plant (16) in a first compartment (70) of a planter (10); allowing roots (18) of the plant (16) to grow from the first compartment (70) into a second compartment (72A) of the of planter (10), while the first (70) and second (72A) compartments are not partitioned; cutting horizontally the grown roots (18) by partitioning (22) the first compartment (70) from the second compartment (72A) by a saw (52), disposed at the bottom of a vertical partition (20A); and removing the cut roots (18) from the second compartment (72A), thereby allowing the cut roots (18) to further grow from the first compartment (70) into the second compartment (72A).
