Veggie Pots 20 Gal Fabric Planter (Set of 12)
SET OF 12. These versatile smart pots are the latest innovation in raised gardening and provide many opportunities for growing healthy foods without having to till ground or build permanent structures. Made from a porous, landscape-grade, poly fabric these flexible garden pots allow oxygen to penetrate to the roots while encouraging healthy, lateral branching instead of circular growth.
Inter-Cropping: Melons, Squash, Tomatoes
Besides the main crop plants, the smart pots have additional space to intercrop a varieties of companion plants such as chives or nasturtiums which are beneficial varieties that help detel off pests. You can even add a few nitrogen fixers such as clover or sweat peas.
Pocket Planting: Herbs, Lettuce, Strawberries
The fabric nature of the smart pots allows growers to maximize space by providing by growing plants on the smart pot sides, as well as on the top. This ‘pocket planting’ increases the number of crops you can grow in the same footprint. Simply cut an X where you want the plant to be, insert the seeding and soon the plants will surround the sidewalls with growth. Ideal for kitchen herbs, flowers, salad greens and of course: strawberries!
Roll Up Technique: Growing Potatoes
Stop growing your spuds in old toxic tires! These soft-walled smart pots are the definitive solution to growing potatoes. Simply roll down the sides like you would roll up a shirt sleeve so that the new height is approx. 8” tall. Place in a sunny location (6+ hours of direct sun). Add 6” of potting soil and plant 4-6 potato sets spaced equidistant. As the plants grow, gradually unroll the smart pots, adding leaf mulch or compost to cover the stems of the plants. Potatoes will form off of the buried sections (it is ok to bury leaves and branches). Do this until your soil depth is close to the top of the bag. At the end of the season when the plant tops start to yellow and die down, simply dump the entire contents onto a tarp and collect your harvest. No digging with pitchforks!

- Features & Benefits
- Product Specs
- Shipping Details
- Ideal for gardeners who have poor soils that are hard pack clay, overly sandy or water-logged
- Can be placed directly on the soil or on any surface – bottom contours to the ground below, establishing capillary contact that helps with water retention and drainage
- The porous fabric aerates the entire container, releasing trapped heat and allowing oxygen to reach the roots
- Will not crack or break like clay or ceramic pots
- Fabric pots may be emptied and stored compactly at the end of the growing season OR can be used year-round with perennials
- Soft bottom is intimately associated with the ground below via capillary contact and helps to moderate temperature fluctuations and improve drainage
- Plants grown is these pots have greater root mass than those grown in hard walled containers due to air pruning, a natural process that encourages lateral branching instead of circular, strangling roots (superior root structure is the key to healthy plants)
- Generously sized for growing the larger fruits and vegetables, including watermelon, winter squash, sweet potato, pumpkins and tomatoes
- Large enough surface area to intercrop the main plant(s) with additional companion varieties (garlic, onions, marigolds, catnip, etc) to protect from chewing pests
