Potential square fabric pots?

[Hobopr0]

so i just transplanted some clones into some larger pots

but then found that my kids werent using these anymore...

so was thinking if i could use these as pots? they measure at 11x11x11 so u math experts pls let me know apprx how many gallon this would be. do u think it'll be suitable? it seems to be a cotton/poly canvas with cardboard used as an interlining.


i left a 2 quart container next to it for perspective.

Thoughts pls! thanks!

If you leave an inch and a half gap from the top of the potting soil to the top of the bags,

you will have a 11x11x9.5 space, which is a nick off 1150 cubic inches,

which is just a pinch under 5 US gallons.

yes perfect, ....found similar on the google as well. do u believe that these would be a viable option to use in your opinion? i dont think i will have to worry about the fabric breaking but perhaps possible at the seams under weight.

I would be more concerned with the risk of mildew and mold. That fabric isn't intended to be used in moist conditions like the fabric pots are.

I'm curious. Did you ever try these as fabric pots? If so have you noticed any molding or mildewing?

I have the same question.

I have the same question.

It's been a month since I asked the question. I'm starting to wonder if he's still on the forum.
