iPoweriPower 5-Pack 20 Gallon Plant Grow Bags Thickened Nonwoven Aeration Fabric Pots Heavy Duty Durable Container, Strap Handles for Garden, Tan

Very pleased with these. I have some bigger plants and plant mixes that I don’t want to buy pots for. These are an affordable alternative and they have been through a Summer and Winter outside and seem to be holding up well. I know they won’t last forever but if I can get a few good seasons out of them then that’s a good deal to me.They don’t tear or rip easily, they hold a lot of soil wet and dry and the handles make for easier carrying. They fold down okay too if you don’t want to fill them all the way up.Definitely recommend.

Works very well.

Update July 2022:Lining the grow bags with plastic (chicken feed bags or mulch bags) has dramatically improved the water retention. I tried three different methods and there isn’t much of a difference, so the easiest way is to cut a piece to cover the bottom and 2-3 inches up the sides. This creates a small water reservoir at the bottom. The plastic may have small holes or rips so the water will slowly leak out, but the soil will have had time to fully saturate by then. It’s a win-win.The smaller bags are still working really well for our houseplants.Update 9/10/21:We still love the grow bags but even a very water retentive soil will require daily or twice daily watering when temperatures are 85°F or higher. Pot saucers large enough for a 30 gallon bag are quite expensive so we will try lining the inside sides and part of the bottoms of the grow bags with empty chicken feed/soil bags to help hold moisture in. We bought them primarily for their size, convenience, and low price since the breathability is actually a detriment in our climate (summer/fall daytime highs average 80-100°F).I also have a few of our houseplants in the 2 gallon bags. They look nice and considerably more upscale than plastic nursery pots when you don’t have a decorative pot for them. The houseplants definitely benefit from the breathability of the material. Make sure to put something under them to protect your furniture/surfaces from moisture.The sewing and construction is good but cosmetic defects are more noticeable on the smaller sizes.Original Review:Bought the 30 gallon (5 pack, black) to quickly supplement our raised bed garden on the cheap, since we needed more space but didn’t have time to build another bed. We have reeeeeally bad gophers so raised beds lined with hardware cloth are a non-negotiable unless we want to plant everything in gopher baskets ($$$).These grow bags are a great size. Large enough to easily grow anything we want. We have two planted with mixed annual flowers, and one planted with sweet corn. The two remaining bags will also have corn.Once filled they stand up on their own and they look nice. Topped with mulch they have a very clean aesthetic. We’re placing them on the paver patio or setting them on top of gopher wire to make sure they don’t end up with holes chewed in the bottom by the end of the season.Each one does require about 4.2 cubic feet of soil to fill it within 1” of the top. If you’re buying bagged organic mix from a big box store you’ll need 2+ soil bags per grow bag, and it’ll probably cost $10-20 to fill each one, depending on what products are available in your area.Do not try moving them once they’re more than half full. They’re just too big and will probably rip, or you’ll hurt yourself.Right now water retention is excellent, but we used 50% dense compost to boost water holding capacity because we’re in zone 9 in Southern California and summer/fall will be hot and dry. I’ll report back if they dry out unusually fast once the heat sets in.

Easy to use & holds together so far. Look good & holds a lot of soil. Hope they hold together because I planted bushes in some of them.

Very nice bags and much bigger than I expected. I will have to provide an update after things are planted in them. They hold a lot of soil and mulch.

These have lasted the season. I would buy them again.

I got these to hold small-ish trees (3-4') Last winter, all of my citrus trees to cold weather, despite being supposedly hardy enough. Some were 3 years old! It was an expensive loss, so this year, I'm going to large grow bags so that they can be moved into a greenhouse for the winter.These are big enough and with a tree's root ball, it still took over 55 quarts of potting soil. Plan ahead and make sure you have enough soil on hand for proper planting.As for maneuverability, you won't want to move these often. Filled, they are incredibly heavy and I'm not certain that the handles can handle much of a move. We'll use a dolly when it comes time to move them for the winter (November or December until April here in southern Mississippi) Despite this, they are very practical for any situation where you may not be certain of a permanent location for a tree/shrub. Of course, they can also be used for flowers, herbs, or vegetables as well.I have grow bags similar to these that are on their second year of use in the sun. They seem to be just as usable now as they were originally. Just be aware that plant roots will cling to the outer walls of the grow bag, regardless of what you are growing. That is normal and to be expected. If you have a valuable plant and are ready to transfer it out of the bag, you may want to cut the bag sides & bottom for ease of removing the plant with as little trauma as possible. For me, these bags are semi-permanent so I don't plan on transplanting anytime soon out of the bag.

The media could not be loaded. My first year gardening! I didn’t want to invest in big containers so these seemed like a good way to dip my toes in! They fit so many plants and my blue berries are so happy with all the extra room! They are light and easy to move. Super sturdy even with all that dirt. The price was right! I think I spent way more on dirt than the containers 😂
