OPULENT SYSTEMS 5-Pack 20 Gallon Grow Bags Heavy Duty Thickened Nonwoven Fabric Containers for Potato/Plant Growing Pots with Handles (Black)

I don't know why it was so hard to find a bag that matches the dimensions listed for a 5gal fabric pot but it is true this was my 3rd attempt on Amazon and FINALLY I found a 5gal bag that delivered the measurements promised of 10 x 12. I am moving plants from one 3gal pot to these new 5gal fabric pots. The pot is well constructed and I love fabric pots in general as after watering the extra water runs off and the plant is not left water logged. After watering and dripping dry I transfer my pot to a decorative pot so it is pretty to look at. I also use these pots as an inside pot so that I do not overwater for ceramic or glazed pots that have no drainage hole. I fill the the bottom and side gaps with soil and cut the handles off (or the extra felt above the handles) and bury the rest with dirt on top. No one can tell and my plant has a layer of protection if I happen to give it too much water it won't "sit" in the water. Love these just because they do what they are suppose to do AND are the size listed. Def recommend!

These 3 gallon container seem well made although I have used them for only one growing cycle. Total volume is indeed 3 gallons. Good height/diameter ratio. Handles are strong and well sewn to the pot. I would buy them again.

actually works, great for small spaces or for those who dont have a yard with the best soil.

The sides fall when you try to load them. I purchased both the 10 and 25 gallon bags. I filled them with soil, coir, and chicken waste to grow my garden in. While the wicking and leaching from the oyster shell in the chicken waste makes the bags look like the are growing mold, they are not. I have never had such an easy growing mobile container garden until I used this product, I would recommend for easy container gardens, with easy watering, and relocation.

The media could not be loaded.  They are HUGE, but that's why I got them. They are cheaper than nursery pots the same size. Way cheaper. I got 5 20 gallon bags for the same price as one plastic 20 gallon nursery pot. And they drain water better from all sides and the bottom not just holes in the bottom of plastic. My plants have been thriving in them. And they are very easy to move inside and outside when it gets too cold at night or when it gets dark. They slide perfectly and have handles on both sides. I took a video showing two bags vs the same size plastic nursery pot.

I loved the pots, they did the job and held up great.

great pot, sturdy. shipped fast

Great quality. A full ten inches tall. Some other products have a photo showing ten inches, but when you get it it's actually eight.

Well where do I start...well I started with the 3 gallon and first was impressed with the quality...I didn't want to dirty them up. Not to worry after reading that they were washable :) My other grow bags worked but I didn't exactly want to re-use them after getting so mucky.4 months in and my flowers and veg are loving it!! Cannot say more!! Love them!!

Not impressed with the quality of this grow bag. Tried lifting it to move it using the attached handles, and it immediately tore. I do not recommend this grow bag. Spend a few dollars more and buy quality. Thank you

I like the pots because they are easy to move around, seem quite durable, and offer good ventilation. They go a long way in preventing root rot from overwatering. But there is a tradeoff.I have purchased three sizes, but returned one. I have the 5 and 3 gallon ones, and find them useful. The main difficulty, is that if you give the plants a good watering it causes the pots to leak everywhere, often as soon as water enters the pot. This makes it difficult to give a thorough watering without leakage.and this is a problem in two ways. 1) leakage and two getting enough water to the plant. I did find that putting a bit of a depression around the plant, in between the main stem of the plant and the outer rim of the pot, helps keep the water from going down the sides and coming right out the walls of the pot, but it requires that the water be administered slowly so that it goes down into the soil and does not pool and spread. If it does it will seep out of the pot in many places.I found the "1 gal" pot to be very small, and not very useful because of the watering problem mentioned above. It was almost impossible to water the plants since more water leaked out than went in. It was much smaller than an average one gal. container and so I returned them. The 5 gal pot is 12 in. in diameter when filled with soil and about the same height. and the three gal is about the is 7.5" in diameter when filled with soil and 10 inches deep, from top base but the height was not as relevant in terms of watering the plant.

Purchase different sizes of these containers to make it easier to plant. As you can see by the picture the tomato plant is huge. That particular plant was planted around May 15 and that picture taken July 9. I purchase the plant as an individual plant (not in a pack of 6) and it was about 12' tall. So that's quite a growth spurt in roughly 7 weeks. Writing this review shortly after these pictures were taken. They are also getting lots of fruit. I have tomato cages in the planter but the plants are becoming so heavy that they pulling the cages over so I have to also use long bamboo stakes to keep them from falling too far over.As other users have stated, you need to water your plants more often than if they were in a plastic or wooden container. These cloth pots are very breathable, which I think is one of their main benefits, but that means the soil dries out faster in them. On hot days you will be watering every day.I purchased different size pots but I think the 7 gallon is perfect for one tomato. In the 15 gallon pots I planted 3 tomato plants but I should have just planted two in them. I didn't realize that these pots promote so much growth that they would get so big. You can see that in the second and last picture. So probably best to stick only two tomato plants in the 15 gallon pot.Although the 15 gallon pots get pretty heavy to move around (best to do that before watering so they are not as heavy) the other size aren't much of a problem. One the advantages of having them in pots is that they be moved so I like to rotate them for more even sun. There are small handles on the side and so far none of them have broken.The third picture shows peppers planted in the 2 and 3 gallon pots. Those were planted at the same time as the tomatoes. The peppers were purchased in individual containers so they were already taller than in a 6 pack but were only starting to have flowers except for the hot peppers (the plant to the right) which already started to produce some small peppers.I highly recommend that you apply some type of mulch or wood savings to cover the top of the soil in order to prevent it from drying out. So far the rabbits don't seem to be bothering with them as they have to stand over the pot to get at them. So my garden is made up of these pots which I found was much easier than planting directly in the garden (we only have a small area anyways so these were more convenient). Don't know if these pots will last more than one season but even if they don't would gladly purchase then again for next year...they are just more convenient and plants appear to like them also.As a final word I do mix my own potting soil which is just a mixture of black earth, peat moss and some manure. You can find mixture recipes on YouTube.---UPDATE: July 21---------------------------------I've added two more pictures showing how tall the plants are. I'm standing level with the plants in my garden and I'm around 5'7" so you can get a clear picture how tall the tomato plants are. In the next picture it looks like those plants are shorter but what has happened is that I had put several tomato cages in the pots when the plants were smaller and they have gotten so big they have pushed the tomato cages over so it looks like they are shorter but they are actually hanging over the tomato cages. Those are the 15 gallon pots and I definitely recommend only two tomato plants per 15 gallon pot, not three Like I did, or you will have to do a lot of staking (I use bamboo stakes) as they pushing at each other.

I use this in my indoor grow. Bigger pots will grow bigger plants thus more produce. I am using Happy Frog potting soil by Fox Farm. One if the two cubic foot bag of soil will fill almost two and a half of the Seven gallon containers. All new cloth containers should be washed before initial use to clear manufacturing dust and ensure good breathing for the plant. Getting ready for next year's grow. Good Luck on your grow!
