Description
Regular fabric pots are made from breathable fabric that allows for excellent air pruning and drainage, but these specific features can be a problem when used with living soils.
Soil in fabric containers dries quickly from the bottom and at the sides. This is generally great for hydroponic style irrigation, where you want quick drying and frequent watering. However, this quick drying at the sides creates a zone of soil that is not good at supporting soil microbial life. Here, the soil can get so dry the microbial communities go dormant or even die, and therefore cannot unlock nutrition from the soil and supply it to the plant. This zone around the edge of the pot is essentially wasted soil, that can be kept moist and allowed to flourish with microbial activity with the help the MoistureLock Liner.
Emulating nature with MoistureLock technology, Grassroots pots are made specifically for living soil.
- USA made, super-durable high-quality fabric.
- High performance pots made for living soil systems.
- Improved soil microbial activity due to slower soil drying.
- Unique non-breathable liner for better water retention and even soil moisture.
- Reduced wet-dry cycle.
- Re-usable many many times.
- Ideal for no-till container growing.
Reduced Water & Energy Use
By preventing drainage and drying from all sides of the container, Living Soil Fabric Pots & Beds lengthen the wet-to-dry soil cycle. That means less water usage and lower humidity indoors.
Even Moisture + Drainage
Traditional fabric containers drain from all sides, which can cause dry pockets. Our Living Soil Fabric Pots & Beds direct water downward, ensuring even distribution throughout.
Improved Aeration
The 4” aeration strip prevents roots from circling the bottom of the container by allowing air to circulate from below. Our Living Soil Fabric Pots & Beds also encourage soil to dry from the top down, mimicking the way soil dries in nature.
Grassroots are committed to making high quality products, their Living Soil Pots are one of a kind, and the market leader in the USA for growers using living soil.

- Drainage and aeration strip at the bottom.
- USA-made tan coloured fabric for healthy soil and roots.
