Root Pouch Grow Bags Good for the Environment

Growers operating with a sustainability model use Root Pouch grow bags because they have the least environmental impact being made from recycled plastic water bottles. Each pallet of Root Pouch fabric pots diverts an average of 10,200 plastic water bottles from the landfills and oceans. The carbon footprint of transportation & storage is reduced: for every truck of Root Pouch pots, it takes 6 trucks to transport the same size of plastic pots.

Root Pouch 5 Gallon Grow Bags (Boxer Brown) Durable Stitching

Unique to the industry, Root Pouch uses a type of stitch called “Industrial Lock Stitch” for the topstitching of the fabric bag. Side seam stitching utilizes “French Stitch Seams”. The Industrial Lock Stitch is named for its use in outdoor products where unraveling is a concern for the overall wear and tear of a product. Outdoor products require the ‘rough and tumble’ durability to withstand abuse. Other grow bag companies use an “Overlock Stitch” which is commonly used in the garment industry. How many times have you had a stitch unravel on your clothing? The same thing happens on grow bags using the Overlock Stitch. It is a stitch commonly used in items such as clothing where its functionality is more aesthetic than utilitarian. Industrial Stitching along with durable custom woven fabrics make Root Pouch the most durable fabric bag on the market.

Root Pouch 5 Gallon Grow Bags (Boxer Brown) Durable Fabric

Root Pouch is the only grow bag manufacturer that uses both recycled plastic fibers (Boxer Brown) along with natural fibers, vegetable fibers or bamboo (Grey, Charcoal, Thin Black). These natural fibers mixed into the netting of the fabric will retain moisture much more evenly around the pot. While allowing the fabric to breathe, it is also now helping in cooling down the plant in summer as well as allowing the plant to stay warm in the winter, like a blanket surrounding the tender roots.

Are the Root Pouch 5 Gallon Grow Bags (Boxer Brown) to be treated differently over winter? Prep and care are basically the same as any container. All pots should be placed can-tight (each pot touching the other) in a protected area, hoop house or cold shed. Plants should be set in a pyramid. Bottom row each pot touches the other, next row on top between plants or trunks.  Exactly as a can-yard grower would winter protect if they were protecting plants in plastic containers. 

How much impact do weather elements have on the Root Pouch 5 Gallon Grow Bags (Boxer Brown)?  Snow and ice have no more effect on them than they do on traditional plastic containers.  However, a plant in a fabric Root Pouch container will fare the extreme cold far better than any other container type.  Just like us…would we be warmer wrapped in plastic or wrapped in fabric?  Plants and plant roots are the same.  The fabric allows the heat given off by plants to be contained and keeps the plant warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.  The most threatening things to plants are the weight of snow and ice.  But that is a risk no matter what the plant is planted in fabric, plastic, and even good old Mother Earth.

Are these grow bags washable?  Yes.  Recommended to use earth-friendly detergent and then air dry.
