Fabric pots are almost as good as growing in ground.

Why I am switching to fabric pots and the best growing medium for vegetables and berries. STOP USING STORE BOUGHT POTTING SOIL! https://youtu.be/Q3FFk2O9hIA
pineislander:
How has this worked out over time? Have you been using this for a year?
Mistozy:
I got a bunch of plants and trees in fabric pots of various sizes. They're fine for now until I get permanent irrigation put in, just got to water a little more frequently.
Daintree:
Alas, I grow trees, and the fabric pots only lasted about 3 years. Having to repot a tree into a 20 gallon pot almost killed me. The other problem was that the fabric pots had a totally different watering schedule (more frequent) than the plastic pots, so if I didn't keep an eye on the ones in the fabric pots they drooped badly.
Same with making my own potting soil. Did it for several years, and I have discovered that as me and my bones get older, it is wisest to choose my battles, and mixing potting is not one of them.
On the other hand, the fabric pots ARE great for veggies! Even did corn in them once!
Longranger:
I have been ordering my potting and planter mix soil from suppliers that sell by the cubic yard and deliver. Way cheaper than buying bags at a garden supply. Could save a lot more if I was willing to mix my own but my bones are getting older too.
