JERIA 8-Pack 7 Gallon Grow Bags, Aeration Fabric Pots with Handles, Heavy Duty Thickened Nonwoven Grow Pots with 8 Pcs Plant Labels

Great value for the money, excellent sturdiness ( I bought the 3 gallon size), easy to move once filled and looks great! I ended up buying 2 8packs of them.

I got these to use in my "lazy lady's vegetable garden".I laid down a plastic tarp, used fence panels that get shoved into the ground, put these planters on top of large tiles left over from a construction project. (Tiles are optional.) Filled the planters with a combination of soil and composted manure. I also got some snap-together plastic trellises that can be configured in different ways, so you can change them as the plants grow and you realize what support you need. I stuck these directly into the dirt in the planters. They seem surprisingly stable in that application.Once planted (tomatoes, zucchini & cucumbers), everything was fine. But now the plants are big and it has been very hot in Central NY. Because the planters are porous on every side, they dry out faster than if they were in the ground or a non-porous container.If you have the time to water daily--or even twice daily if it's very hot and dry--these planters are great. I also used some for basil; those are doing fine, too. (A passing thunderstorm does not provide enough water, especially for plants that require a lot of water, like cucumbers and zucchini.)I love these things! After the season, I'll put them in the garage. Next spring, I'll work in more compost. Also, your soil is likely to compress, so you should feel free to pretty much fill the planters at planting time.

whether I really like these or not. They are the correct size (5 gallon) and seem to be just right for my tomato and lettuce plants. I purchased Raised Bed Soil, and they were easy to manipulate while potting the plants. However, as another reviewer said, they do dry out quickly. I don't mind that so much, easy enough for me to water them each morning, but the water runs out the sides of the grow bag which means I have to give them a lot more water just to get it to go down towards the bottom. Seems like I should have anticipated this, but it did surprise me a little.Also, the area under the grow bags stays very, very wet; this was also unexpected. I had to go buy those plastic things you put under pots and turn them upside down and place the plants on them. My deck was recently re-boarded and has not been stained yet so it seemed like a really bad idea for it to stay wet like that.It's only been a few weeks, the plants are doing incredibly well, and they are easy to move around - first year gardening with vegetables so I still have to determine the best place for them on the deck. I anticipate a successful season, but I'm not sure I would buy these again.

This is our first time using grow bags. We hemmed and hawed over which brand to buy and if they were worth purchasing versus using the plastic pails we already had. This is what we've learned so far:These bags are exceptionally durable. The orientation of the handles is convenient, and they're ultra- sturdy. We've lugged our tomatoes around - no problem.The plants in these bags are THRIVING compared to the three seedlings we put in plastic buckets. There's no contest.Sizing is accurate. They seem small, but nursery "gallons" are different than traditional gallons. We sized up to be safe.We planted as follows:In each 7-gallon bag: 2 zucchini plants, two squash plants, 2 green beans. In each 5-gallon bag: ONE bush tomato (sized up to accommodate staking and glad we did! In each 3-gallon bags: 2 leaf lettuce, 2 kale, radishes.You will need to water bag plants more often than bucket plants, but the results are amazing and very unexpected.The quality control is excellent. No issues with mold etc. This our planting, so I can't speak to their durability, but I expect to use these for years based on their current condition.

Theses totes are sturdy and appear to be well made. I filled them with dirt to grow sweet potatoes, hopefully I Will have a good harvest, time will tell.

First time using these fiber grow bags. Growing tomatoes, potatoes, bush beans, and squash in them.The plants seem to like them ok. I have colored bags but they don't look good as the soil bleeds through the bag so these black ones will be the ones i will always use, as they look fine now a couple months into the growing season.in these pictures you see a dwarf cherry tomato and a potato plant, then two potato plants and an early girl tomato and then an heirloom tomato and another potato plant. The potatoes are russet, yellow, red and purple skinned.i will say that at this point i have to water the bags (10 gallon) every day or the bigger plants wilt. But that isn't too big of a hassle. Probably i will go with metal raised beds next time for these types of plants or go to 15 gallon black fiber bags.but all in all this was a good experience and i am pleased with the results so far.by the way i live in a cooler climate so the tomatoes aren't jumping in size like when i lived in a warmer climate but time will tell how it all goes.

I’m using these to Re-transfer some of my berry plants in them. They were in smaller containers. They work out fine.

I guess these are OK but not for my needs. Planted tomatoes and peppers in them using good dirt and compost but only yielded a few of each. The Beefsteak tomatoes only yielded about 6/plant and were the size of cherry tomatoes at best. Peppers only yielded 2/plant and were very small. Will not use again.
