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
It's all the from the same factory in China lol. Just get one the color you like but I guess "weight" would be a factor as well, I've seen 300g and 600g. I just got the 34 buck roll from amazon 3x100 I think worked great. I've even seen newer designs with just the bottom and like 10% of the side bottom being a breathable area and the rest had a layer of plastic type stuff that was all the way up the inside wall to retain water in more harsh climates. Much better to make 1000 gallon pots than to buy them that's for sure haha
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.
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 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.
All perlite works great. Up to a 50/50 mix of perlite and coco coir works great too. It holds the moisture longer for root crops and all plants that like a little more moisture content. Thanks
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
Video on trees coming soon. Avocado tree came with soil around the roots. Left the soil, treated with H2O2 to kill any possible "bad stuff", and filled the rest with perlite. It is light and you are correct. When the trees get larger, they need some sort of support if they are not balanced. We are now also using perlite/coco coir mix and is more stable. Thanks for watching!
We use a catch tray, pool or whatever to catch any water so it is not wasted. The water in the bottom will wick back up to the plant as needed. I always let the catch basin dry completely between watering. Many times I water and there is very little water coming out. Thanks
Any issues with mosquitos? We have terrible mosquitos once it gets hot and I worry that the tray under the bags system would attract them. Looking to do something similar on a really small scale (maybe the kiddie pool set up) on my deck.
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.
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?
No. Only some fine feeder roots will go through. If you want to keep them in the small bag when you move to the bigger one, cut the sides of the smaller bag first.
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(?).
I have a dwarf lemon tree in I think is a 10 gal grow pot I got a lime tree and was wondering if same size would work. the lemon tree blooms great when I bring it out but not when I take it out do have to get bigger sizes ?
I love the fabric pots for the citrus. We have oranges, lime, kumquat, lemon and also our avocado trees. 30 gallon pots with perlite coco mix, but the trick is using the masterblend mix. See other videos. Thanks
Great for the plant. It is made out of a breathable fabric (felt like) and will hold some moisture and allows all important oxygen to the roots. Your grow media will have all the water your plant needs, just keep the media moist an inch or 2 below the surface. Thanks for watching.
Sir, do avocado fruit in grow bag, i have plant it in 16"*16" grow bag. One more thing can i plant other fruit plants like mango, mulberry, dwarf peach,fig, phalsa, date palm etc in them and will they fruit?
The grow bags I have in the greenhouse have not broken down yet. These have been in for 4 years and still fine. I have taken plants out and put into larger bags with no problem as the roots don't ball up, so if a bag was breaking down it would be no problem to put into another. Thanks
3 gallon and 5 gallon. If you have something overhead to tie to, paracord with loops and clips is the best. If not, wire cage or sturdy bamboo or fiberglass poles work OK. Thanks
the only downside is the size/form of fabric pots. from 5 gallon upwards they are more wide than high which is for most plants not the best. i understand that you can't just make them higher because of the volume/weicht of the soil, they would bent or even fäll over. beside that i am a fan of fabric pots:)
I don't think that's true. There's tons of studies that prove that root depth is generally in the top 2' of the soil. There are of course a wide range of root depth based on soil types, and its generally a matter of void spaces. Sandier soils will generally have trees with deeper root systems, because air can penetrate. For silty/clay soils, air can't really penetrate more than a couple feet, so that's where the roots are.
I have many trees in these with no problems until I put the bags too close together, then the roots will try to get to the next pot. Some of our trees are 8 years old with no root ball etc. Thanks
@@lovecreatesfreedom You could cut half the roots off a tree and it would be fine, you could cut a tree right to the dirt and it'll still bush back out like nothing's happened in no time. You have to try to kill a tree lol
Best to place them in something to not waste the water that will drain out. They work fine without anything also. Just water less so there is less or no water draining out. We have them both ways with great success. Thanks
Advantages of growth bag: 1) Made of environment friendly non woven fabric, allow roots breathable and healthier. 2) Booster better roots aeration and access to oxygen, resulting in a vigorous plant with more flowers and fruits. 3) No-strap water design prevent over watering of plants. 4) Keep roots warmer in winter and cooler in the summer 5) Sturdy handle straps easier transportation. 6) Decrease risk of transplant shock.
You can use almost anything to grow in. I even have some growing in just gravel. Some in coco coir and some in mixes. They all work. The secret is nutrients and not letting them dry out too much.
Hi, Thanks for all of the useful info. I THINK I love grow-bags too? but maybe not the way I’ve used them! Here’s my situation followed by my question - I really hope you can help! Location: Zone 6 a in a garden courtyard, full sun, not much protection, overlooking Lake Huron. What I’ve done: I had four 6 foot, Star Magnolia trees planted in bottomless wood boxes 34” X 34” X 3ft high to gain instant height. Boxes are lined with 1” foam insulation and a X X large grow bag that I snipped holes into the bottom for faster drainage + to promote roots joining earth at ground level. Ideally, I would like to leave them in these boxes for ever. So far: The trees have made it through a colder than usual winter. There are furry buds are all over. Question: was I lucky? Will the trees become stressed as they grow bigger? Will the roots find their way to the earth below? OR, should I demolish my gorgeous boxes, which anchor my courtyard and pergola to save the trees? I must confess I have been writing my hands over this. *I got the idea from Bunny Guinness - not her fault! She gardens in the UK, which has much milder winters. Thank you in advance! Susan in Ontario’s West Coast
Sunny, from what I know star magnolias are good to zone 4. Since you plant them in bottomless boxes, they will grow into into the dirt, and spread out. The roots, although shallow, are way wider than its canopy. It's budding, so it must be "happy". Just top dress with compost and it should be fine. However, if you need professional help, take a picture and go to your local garden center and ask there. That's what I would do even though there are many helpful videos on YT, many are from different zones and some garden supplies cannot be bought in Canada or Ontario (a small examples...neem oil is, powder gypsum, powder bone meal etc.) Good luck :-)
Thank you! I’m feeling much relieved. I will definitely top dress with compost and mulch and add some worms too. I’ll also try to cut more holes in the bottom of the bag liners by putting a blade on a stick and scraping underneath the pots. It’s only April, but when the trees bloom I’ll send you a snap. Phew!
Perlite. You can use many things including coco coir, peat, small gravel sand and any mix or whatever you have available. New video coming out soon on all of this with the pros and cons of each. Thanks
I will be planting hass avocados in a 30 gallon fabric pot “like yours” and will probably use a perlite Pete 60/40 blend. Using masterblend 4-18-38, calcium nitrate, epsum salt recirculating system.
