THICC grow bags!
I've been using grow bags as square foot gardens (generally placing them in a shallow kiddie pool or tote to create a self-wicking container) and I confess, I usually would just use eco-totes from the grocery store. Okay, so they ripped from the weight of the soil after a season or so, but.I finally tried out some proper ones, since I'm expecting a large plant order that will require a lot of temporary "nursery" housing -- pictured are just some sad clearance bagged roses I picked up locally -- and these are so hefty and easy to move! These bags are THICC! (Or thick, if you don't have any young friends to keep you hip to the current slang.)I'm honestly considering starting a veggie garden in these after I finish planting my roses, because they're super nice to work with, and needs must nowadays.

So far so good. I think I'm gonna love these. And yes, I DO!
I'm glad I got the 7 gallon size instead of the 10 gallon. 7 gallon is plenty large for potatoes, a squash plant, a cabbage, pepper, etc. And the handles make it very handy to move under cover when bad weather threatens.Since the fabric is breathable and doesn't hold moisture like a plastic pot does it needs to be watered more, but that isn't a problem for me as I like to look over my plants at least once a day anyway. But for those who may be away for several days at a time and watering may be an issue you may want to take note of this.Update on May 13, 2020: I successfully grew potatoes in 3 of these bags and was blown away by the results! A good amount of perfect potatoes from each bag, and all I did to harvest the potatoes was dump the contents of the bag into my gardening wagon and pick out the potatoes! Couldn't have been easier! And the bags are in perfect condition and ready for something else to be planted in them. I love these things!

Better than some...
Okay...I've bought way way too many of these grow bags in 10 gal and 5 gal. None are exactly perfect...BUT this particular brand was easier to fill from holding a bag of soil up inside and letting it fill up. No falling over or spilling like previous brands did. I like the weight of the fabric. I like fact the seams are inside and not serged around the outside and center seam...with noticeable bright thread on the outside. I do not like the bags that look like they need to be turned inside out cause the bottom is serged on like a lid or something...but the handles clearly show bag is suppose to look inside out. I hate that. These bags hold up to me using my little dolly thing to move them around without getting saggy full of soil. I just move into place and then bounce it to settle it and the shape is good after move. I wish I could have bought them sooner...cause I have 5 different types...and this brand seems better for my purposes. Hope they hold up. Kudos for no holes in the seams...no slits in the sides...and no unsecured/glued serger threads waiting to be pulled to come apart. Been there and done that...which is why I know what I do not want. Problem is...you just can't tell too much from pics other than where the handles are...on the side or up closer to the top like a grocery bag which is a pain. Hope to get more of this brand if and when available.

Great way to start garden in the basement!
I live in Colorado and bought these to be able to start more plants by my basement window and then carry outside once it warms up more as its still dropping into the 20s at night. I've been using Earth Boxes and like them, but they require me to have help to carry upstairs to get outside and I have to dump out all the water in them whereas these pots I can carry and move myself. The handles are sewn on strongly and I'm easily able to lift. The size seems great- started some blueberry, raspberry, and just waiting for my potatoes to seed more to start in another 2. I ended up lifting these 2 and placing on a sled because I was worried about them possibly leaking on the floor, but that hasnt been an issue at all. My only complaint is that the bags start to smush and become elongated when I pick them up. I could probably spend some more time reshaping or maybe fill them up a bit fuller (I was trying to keep the soil in the lower end as needed to make it easier to me to carry up stairs to the backyard) but for their ease, I think its worth it....and I could try placing plastic or cardboard at the bottom of the other pots to see if that helps as well. Overall a cheap easy way to grow in containers and great to start things early in the basement for sure!

Great for potatoes
I ordered 20 of these for growing potatoes and onions in purchased soil versus trying to grow directly in my poor native rocky soil, and so far they are showing no signs of wear. I have picked them up and moved them several times when mowing and the handles have held up. I like that excess moisture wicks out of the fabric, so it makes it difficult to over water and just leaves the soil moist. If I have one suggestion for the seller, it would be to offer these with some lighter color options. These seem to get pretty warm in the sun due to the black color. In really hot sunny weather the soil in these will dry out in roughly a day and half, and after that if I don't water I am risking my plants. I know some veggies love the heat but some do not. I would personally like a few of these in lighter colors as well for the cooler weather veggies, or to help cut down on the watering. But I knew that could be an issue when buying these, and they have been great for what I am using them for. It looks like I will have a bumper crop of potatoes this year.
