Fabric Pots or Grow Bags 101 - Most cost effective way to grow anything.

[roncatlin]

i have a weird hoa and i can't have anything on the ground to catch the water from my grow bags so i developed a semi self-wicking system to prevent moisture & nutrient loss from my plants. i have discovered aluminum foil dutch oven liners. they go into the bottom of my bags filled with coco coir with a pvc pipe exposed at the top. i don't need to worry about watering during the throes of ridiculous heat waves. i made the watering pipes tall enough that there is no bending over now and my coco coir doesn't become hydrophobic when the heat gets extreme.

I put my fabric buckets in a boot tray that I got at Lowes for around $10. So far I'm really impressed by fabric buckets. They also work well with watering spikes or "olla" type irrigation.

Was getting root rot till I switched to fabric. It allowed my soil to get dry and saved my plant from overwatering issue. Now my cannibas plants are growing beautifully. Soil dries more even then in regular plastic pots

I'm glad nobody knows what to call these things. I tried calling them potato bags and everyone looked at me like I was sasquatch.

Your video answered a lot of questions I was having about using these cloth plant pots effectively. Thanks

.... have used them one year grew a huge plant...easy to move around too..great if you like to hand water plants...no fear of overwatering...

Greetings from England, I am growing various vegetables in my bought fabric pots but now I want to make the bags myself. I have made plastic pots with my sewing machine very successfully. So many Utube videos say use non-woven landscape fabric. The trouble is knowing which one - there are so many options. Could you please enlighten me as to what exactly should use. I rather like the felt type. Thanks

Just amazing what you have accomplished, very impressive.

Hi I’m a first time viewer and really enjoyed the video 👍🏽 I just bought a dozen 5 lb grow bags and excited to use them. I’m in grow zone 7 GA 😊

What about planting the tree in the bag.. into the ground. I just did my fig plant that way.. now I’m wondering if I should have cut the bottom of it(?).

Thanks for the good info. I have started plants in a smaller grow bag and now want to put them in large bags. If I just put the small bag into a large bag, will the roots grow through the small and into the large?

I have a lemon tree that is planted in a very large plastic pot. I live in Las Vegas. Would the lemon tree do better in a cloth pot? I’m concerned the tree can get root bound. It struggles already without being root bound. I just repotted it this winter.

Because structural root engineering takes place first two years along with temporary Tap Root production which commonly by third year starts producing lateral roots . Never grow trees expected to provide a 50-year or more Problem free service life in a container for more than two years regardless if pot fabric bag or some other new titillating invention.

In fact best method is transforming back into bare root transplant which allows pruning out any deflected or circling roots as everything should be growing radially outbound away from tree.

Great content on your channel thank you... have had a few laughs also. With regard to the fruit trees in grow bags, what growing medium do you use? The avocado tree appears to be in perlite only (or at least a high percentage of perlite). As perlite is so light weight, do you find it provides adequate anchorage for the tree? Are the trees hydroponic also? Thanks

What size bag would be recommended for Emerald Okra and Tabasco Pepper plants?

[WelcomeToDERPLAND]

So are the 30 gallon bags big enough for those trees to live in for their entire lifetimes?
