A budget 5-pack of breathable fabric bags that excel for small-space and balcony vegetable growing, trading longevity and more frequent watering for excellent root health and portability.

Pros

  • Breathable fabric air-prunes roots and prevents the root circling you get in plastic pots
  • Extremely cheap per plant and folds flat for storage over winter
  • Sewn handles make it easy to relocate plants to chase sun on a balcony or patio

Cons

  • Fabric dries out fast, so it needs more frequent watering than a solid pot
  • Soft sides won't stand fully upright until filled and can slump when watered unevenly
  • Nonwoven fabric degrades after a few seasons of sun exposure and won't last like a rigid pot
