Nice as far as they have been used to date in a customized tent. First planting use is as far as I have taken them to date.

I purchased these as an experiment after watching Rusted Garden vlogs on You Tube. I bought the smaller bags as I had a few cuttings ready to transplant. To date the plants seem happy and if they’re happy I’m happy.

La calidad de la tela es buena, no se rompe fácilmente y las costuras están aseguradas. En general, buena compra.

I bought a set of 7 gallon bags to plant peppers and basil in my apartment patio in October 2018. The handles on the bags are the best thing for a petite person like me. It makes it very easy for me to move the bags without snapping my stick like wrists, neck or back. The bags are holding up great still and they did see all the weathers. I am in Arizona and October can be pretty drying for small containers. I had to water the plants every day in October. The soil would get really dry and the fabric of the bags is very porous. If the soil is not packed completely along the walls of the bag, the water leaks out from the sides when watering. Also the water drains out quickly when bag is watered at once. As a solution to this, I water half the amount needed in the center of the bag and let the soil absorb the water, then I water the rest half amount. I would suggest not putting the bags in wet areas because it does have some fabric mixed in and it will eventually wilt/decompose.The pepper plants had the misfortune of snapping during a storm. They never really got healthy. Despite that one of the pepper plants now has 5 baby cubanelle peppers. The basil grew very well in these and I have already made basil pesto 4 times.I think for a beginner gardener with no access to a backyard, this is a great set of quality containers!

Dec 2017 Update:So far I think fabric grow bags is my favorite style of container gardening, compared to other styles like regular pots, 5-gallon buckets, container hydroponic, and wicking containers (City Pickers/Earthbox). First, grow bags are pretty durable while being relatively cheap, so you don't have to shell out lots of money for other high quality containers. I can't speak for much larger sizes, but 7 gallons and under has been a good experience for me. Second, drainage and aeration allows the plant roots to grow well and it seems to me to help reduce diseases. I now use 50/50 compost and potting mix (the kind with fine pine barks and drains well such as by Ecoscraps or Just Natural, not the water retentive and acidic peat moss kind).Only downside is grow bags have no wheels so if you like the convenience of pushing them around, you might have to invest in some expensive 'plant dolly', carts, or build your own.--------I bought the 1, 2, 3 and 5 gallon ones. The sizes calculation are a bit of a stretch. If you fill the soil all the way to the top then they'll pass, but just expect slightly less than the actual size. It's a good price and looks like good quality so I have no complains.For my hot climate it dried it very fast and needs watering every day, because of this I add more compost in them along with the potting mix, or double stacking the bags to reduce drainage. (Some people are against compost in containers, but imo this is less of a problem in grow bags because they drain so fast in hot climate).The roots grow really well in them. I use 1 - 2 gallon containers to grow microdwarf, 3 gallons for determined dwarf tomatoes, and 5 gallons for indetermined dwarfs, cherry tomatoes or full sized tomatoes but top them off and limit the plant to one or two stem.

I cannot say enough good things about these garden pots. I've used some by another manufacturer in the past and had mixed results. My mother and I wanted to grow potatoes this year but putting things in the ground is just too hard at our ages (58 and 84) so everything is in containers or raised beds.I used a mixture of miracle grow potting soil and some composted garden soil that we let sit over the winter. Probably about 50-50. I set each of the bags on four flat landscaping bricks because I thought that would make them sit more evenly. My mom planted her potatoes in 3 of the bags a few weeks after St. Patrick's Day. I planted 2 eggplant in the last 2 bags a few weeks after that. It was warm here in eastern Pennsylvania so I pushed the season.Both the potatoes and eggplant grew beautifully. We have already already harvested all of the potatoes and have replanted the pots with more potatoes to try for a 2nd season. So far, they are growing well. We have been harvesting large fist size eggplants at a rate of about 1 or 2 a week. We planted a variety grown particularly for containers.These bags dramatically increased the real estate of my garden. It took almost no preparation and, as it looks now, they will be in great shape for use next year. I do plan to empty them out come fall and keep them in the basement. I have attached a few photos.UPDATE: April 30, 2017My plans to empty out the bags and put them away for the winter went awry. I just never got to it. They all stayed outside. I turned them over about 3 weeks ago and am happy to report that they survived the season intact. I have refilled all of them with "energized" soil. (I took last year's stuff and added some manure, hay, and water. I let everything sit under a tarp in the sun for a few weeks and then shoveled it back in the fabric pots.) The soil is not ideal but, sometimes, situations dictate shortcuts. I've planted 2 eggplants and am getting ready to do the potatoes in the next week or so. The bags show no sign of wear and tear. Another big thumbs up!
