About this item

Sturdy Fabric Material: Made of 300g of thickened nonwoven fabric, these pots are moderately permeable, and BPA-free
Great Drainage: Nonwoven fabric means the pots do not retain excess water, allowing your roots to breathe for healthier, more vigorous growth
Durable, Reinforced Handles: While the competition uses flimsy handles that are merely strips of the same fabric the pot is made from, we use serger stitches to sew handles onto the pot so they can support a full bag of soil
Portable Bags: Heavy-duty handles and rugged material mean you can move bags full of soil and plants with ease
Use It for Years: Grow bags prevent circling root structure; Combined with pruning and trimming roots, these bags can be used and reused for years

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good quality. Drains extremely well.
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024
We purchased these as a trial run for Frangipani or “Plumeria” flowering plants. They require very loose and well draining soil. These pots do live up to this standard extremely well. The handles are woven and stitched to the felt. They seem to hold well even when the soil is wet and very heavy. The stitching seems to hold them together quite well, and the felt seems fairly heavy and durable. They drain so well in fact that we may need to increase our watering as the soil seems to dry quite quickly. We have also used them for a pot liner in one plant and this one seems to keep the moisture a little longer. I would recommend these for indoor use only as a pot liner since being made of felt, the draining could be very messy. As of now, I am very happy with this product. We will see if the quality can withstand the suns degradation through Florida's quite lengthy growing season.

I love these bags. What a great idea for many reasons. They are light in weight, you can move them around and they are airy for the roots. I really didn’t expect them to be that great but truly are. They are made well made and really sturdy. I have my happy tomato plants in them right now and they look very happy!

5.0 out of 5 stars 10gal perfect for Tomato plants!
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024
I just received these in the mail and my tomato plants are still seeds under a grow light, so I have not used them yet and won’t for another month or two. But, I’m writing this review because I wasn’t sure what size to buy for my tomato plants and almost bought the 20gal before reading other reviews.
The 10gal will be perfect for tomato plants, peppers and other vegetables with deeper routes. I’d describe the size as similar to reusable shopping bags, but circular and not square.
I decided to buy these because last year I planted my tomato plants too close together and my garden was a mess! I also couldn’t get to all sides of them and it was annoying. Bags make it easy to space them out more, will keep from casting shade over other vegetable plants and I can rotate it around to take care of all of them individually.
The handles look like they could possibly break when full of soil and a large plant. Others do have this complaint. But, I feel if you fill these where you intend to keep them and you hold the sides instead of the handles, this won’t be an issue even with larger plants.
I was very happy opening these and may purchase more before last frost in New England

These bags are suitable for vegetables , I have tried sweet potatoes, tomatoes and peppers and will also try yams.
The handles allow you to move them around.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far impressed with these grow bags. Time will tell.
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2023
I have been growing almost all of our veggies and herbs in our basement under lights for almost 5 years, an initially started many of the veggie greens in bussing tubs. Within a couple of years, I had a 6-foot freezer full of veggie, and decided to keep only a couple of plants from each tub for use in salads and occasion harvests for freezing. Little did I know that some of these plants get huge when allowed to grow for over 3 years.

One plant in particular is my collard greens plant. I initially put it into a 10 gallon pot which it quickly outgrew. Then I transplanted it into a 15 gallon plastic pot which it also outgrew. I was having to water it every other day with 3 gallons of water, and I knew it was again root bound.

I decided to pot it up into a 25 gallon pot, but the plastic pots of this size were running over $100 for one pot. When I found these grow bags I decided to give them a try. Since I grow my plants indoors, I need to have all pots in saucers and the larger pots need to be on a roller base so I can move them. Since these grow bags are almost 22" at the base, I had to find saucers at least 25-26" interior diameter and a roller base that would work for a saucer of this size. Fortunately, I did find both on Amazon, and got my collard greens plant, affectionately named Seymour, moved to its new home. My next challenge will be transplanting my 3' x 3' rosemary plant moved to one of these grow bags.

I have to admit I was a bit intimidated on having to move a large plant to a flexible cloth pot. As I put soil into the grow bag the sides of the bag held up. When I got the plant into the bag and filled it with soil, the grow bag held up and looks like it will work fine.

Since this is my first experience with a grow bag, I do have some reservations. Since watering of the plant moistens the grow bag, I wonder if it will eventually grow algae. Should the plant ever expire, I don't know how cleanable this grow bag will be for future use. I don't think I would use the smaller versions of these grow bags since the plastic pots I have are reusable and easy to clean. Anything moved to these large grow bags will have a permanent home in them.

UPDATE 06/25/23:
The second picture shown is my Collard plant after I harvested it and moved it to this cloth pot. The first picture is the same plant 12 days later. Looks like my Collard plant, we lovingly name Seymour, is happy. I would also like to mention that I had to move this plant after I transplanted it and had watered it. Although 25 gallons of wet soil would not be something one person could lift and move, my husband and I were able to do it using the attached handles. Since the handles didn't break or detach with this much weight, I'm sure the handles be be very strong on the smaller pots.

UPDATE 08/03/23:
As mentioned previously, I am new to these cloth pots, and have noticed an interesting benefit of using them. If you grow plants indoors, you know that it can be difficult to know when to water them, especially for the plants in larger pots. You can use a moisture meter, but these aren't always accurate and can measure moisture only at the surface of the soil. If the meter show the soil is dry, most of the time you need to water, but what do you do if it measures moist? You can stick your finger in the soils to determine whether the first couple of inches is dry, but what do you do if the roots at the top of the soil are solid and you can't do the finger test? Using most tests for moisture, you can only check the surface soil. This doesn't help much if you have a large plant in a 25 gallon pot such as the ones I have. It does help to know how deep the roots of your plants go and the moisture requirements of your plants. I do know that my large rosemary plant and my collard greens plant go deep into the soil. There is no way to measure the amount of moisture in these deep pots. What I have noticed is that these cloth pots feel cool when the soil is moist deep into the pot. This helps to regulate watering of the rosemary plant that needs to dry out a bit before watering. This also helps with watering requirement of the large collard greens plant that requires more moisture than the rosemary plant. The collard greens plant does not feel cool when it needs watering.

Since these grow bags are a new experience for me, I will update this review as I learn more about them. I hope this review was helpful for you.
