Default Re: Fabric grow bag advice

I tried them out several years ago. I found out they are harder to move than other containers, even with the handles which eventually ripped off, because the fabric does break down after a couple years. I also found out in drenching rain storms, the fabric gets beat down to the soil level, and soil gets washed out. I've also had algae grow on the outside of the bag on the shade side, which also breaks down the bag.

So bottom line, they won't last forever, but they will look nice for awhile. I've also tried moving them with a hand cart which doesn't work too well.

Even plastic containers break down after awhile, the sun is brutal and causes the plastic to become brittle, the edges cracking and breaking off when trying to move the container.
