5-Pack 7 Gallon Grow Bags Heavy Duty Container Thickened Nonwoven Fabric Plant Pots with Handles

Works well. Sturdy. Handles well attached. Drains well and my fruit trees are doing well. Ferns and other "weeds" grow on sides since the cloth stays moist when watered often.. If you want a clean pretty pot for your plants, don't get these.

I love these grow bags! They work perfectly for my tomato plants.

I like them. They are functional, sturdy and fit both indoors or outdoors/

5-Pack 5 Gallon Grow Bags Brand: Garden4EverThey are a great size for carrying groceries. Why? because they are strong/ carrying 5 2Liter bottles, have strong handles, stay open when empty for easy filling, are stackable while filled with groceries, are washable.

I live in a mid-rise apartment building but my 8-year old niece and I wanted try growing some veggies this summer on our patio. I originally bought 4-ft square above-ground planters but decided that was way too much dirt...getting it up there would be a pain but having to dispose of it someday would be monumentally worse. I didn't really want to buy a bunch of plastic planters so I was browsing Amazon looking for options that were deep enough to grow carrots, beets and radishes and came across the whole grow-in-a-bag concept and settled on these. The 7-gallon size seemed big enough but not too big to move around and they had handles that were securely attached per the reviews.I ordered two 5-packs of the 7-gallon bags. When I opened the box, I was afraid there had been a shipping mistake. There were two packages but they were so small it seemed like they could only hold one bag each. I was wrong...five were vacuumed packed into each package. Efficient.I bought soil at a local home improvement store and it must have been 12-13 gallon bags because each one filled two of the grow bags. They are pretty floppy when not filled so I rapidly gave up on trying to shovel it in. I sliced the end of the dirt bag open then stretched the grow bag over that end. It filled it as I lifted the soil bag out. Much faster.I'd ordered a variety of vegetables in dwarf/miniature/planter varieties from Burpee. We planted them without much expectation...obviously the pots were much more densely seeded than recommended but it was an experiment so who cares. So far everything has sprouted and we've been thinning them out as needed.The bags are easy to work with and we put a different vegetable in each one so it's easy to keep track of them. They are small enough to move around with the handles (even my niece can do it, barely). My only minor complaint has more to due to the terrible watering can that I have...if you water too much all at once, the water will leak out of the top section of the bag rather than staying contained and sinking down to the bottom. It's better to water less at once and do each bag a couple of times to let the water sink in deeper.Overall I'm very happy with these grow bags and we look forward to working with the veggies throughout the summer. My niece has basically lived in a 6th floor apartment her whole life so this is a fun and easy way to bring the garden to the city. Already the radishes and their growth rate is a huge source of fascination (to both of us).Someday when it comes time to dispose of them, I can probably fit them down the garbage chute. Of course I'm a model tenant and would never do that (I would put them in a plastic bag first so the dirt doesn't spill out). (And just do a couple at a time so as not to clog it up.) Lol.

There are several 15 gallon bags available on Amazon but most are deeper and narrower than these. These are more wide & shallow, which is exactly what I was looking for to re-pot my 3 year old avocado trees as they have roots only 6" deep . Once filled with potting soil the bags are heavy and not very maneuverable but the handles are study so you can lift the bags to slide a plant dolly under. I would highly recommend setting the bags on some sort of base for better drainage. I had these bags for a few months now. They have green mold growing on the outside from moisture but they are not falling apart yet. I will update my review if they fail within a year. Since all excess water drains out, I do have to water these more often than plants in terracotta pots, so I was given a good advice I want to share. To know when you need to water your tree again without having to dig in dirt to check for that 1" dry soil plant a few flowers close to the edge of the bag - once the flowers start to droop, it is time to water!If you are intending to use these for an avocado pot, you may want to check your variety first:My "Fantastic" , "Joey" and "Hass" varieties did just fine over winter in plastic nursery pots (I didn't put them in the ground in case it freezes) and even rewarded me with one tiny fruit last year. The trees were healthy and full of leaves yet they did not handle transplanting well (or didn't like that much air in the bag) & within 2 weeks dropped all leaves. However, "Lila" avocado loved the new big pots and doubled in size in 3 months. For Memorial weekend our Home Depot got a large shipment of fruit trees so I bought another "Joey" & "Fantastic" avocados since they were $38 vs. $70 at the nursery. They both got planted in these 15 gal bags I ordered more of. "Joey" dropped ALL leaves again & shows no sign of life. "Fantastic" dropped some leaves but is still hanging there. It is South Texas and >100F right now so I have to water every other morning instead of weekly. These grow bags may be drying out too fast for the avocados. They work great for citrus trees though! I have Meyer's Lemon, Key Lime, and Calamondin Orange planted in these bags and all 3 doing great and have so many fruits in various size & shade of green I had to cage the trees for the branches not to break!

It Was exactly what I ordered. Well pleased.
