## Overview

The Smart Pots 7-Gallon Soft-Sided Container combines innovative fabric aeration technology with a durable, shape-retaining design to enhance root health and plant vigor. Its breathable material improves drainage and heat dissipation, making it a favorite among commercial growers and home gardeners alike. Sized at 14 inches diameter by 9.5 inches height, this modern planter supports robust growth of flowers, fruits, and vegetables while preventing common issues like root circling and waterlogging.

## Description

By taking advantage of the benefits of traditional plastic gardening containers while eliminating the shortcomings, Smart Pots truly live up to their name! These soft growing containers allow more air to reach the growing medium and roots, improving drainage and keeping the root system from overheating on hot days. Plant roots also benefit from their natural tendency to grow into soft surfaces like the Smart Pot, becoming thick and healthy instead of circling the inside of the pot and becoming root-bound.

Review: Must have for garden - This is my first year vegetable garden and using smart pots. The pots work great for me as a renter plus I can move the smaller ones around to sun/shade. The vegetables growing in smart pots are twice as large and better producers than the ones I am growing in traditional clay pots. It rained alot this summer but because the pots are fabric the plants never sat in waterlogged pot and I had no issue with rotting roots. The pots seem durable so I am hoping for many years of use. I have tomatoes growing in 5 and 7 gallon pots and they are doing well in both sizes. I filled with mix of coconut coir, potting soil and compost blend from garden store. I plan to buy more for next year. I did purchase a 10 gallon and big bag bed and also have good results but cannot move them around due to size and weight.
Review: Not yet used, but seems sturdy + update a year later! - Ordered this because I was curious about the construction, and no one around here sells 'em. The stitching is very well done. I will certainly use it. UPDATE: I grew some enormous (Brawny man fist - sized) potatoes on a north-facing balcony in southern California using this container. I suppose its advantage is that it helps keep the soil aerated? However, because it is a 100% fabric container, the soil will dry out very very quickly. When I grew the potatoes, I decided to place this container onto a plastic drip pan, letting the pan act as a bit of a water reservoir for the container. Bingo-potatoes!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect.
*by L***A on September 5, 2016*

Have two dwarf fruit trees in these pots; will be purchasing more to put more trees in next year. This does require a little more watering than plastic pots, but since it's impossible to overwater, I don't mind at all. After a year of sitting outside in the sun, rain, and wind, they still look nice. No fading, coming apart, or other issues.
