Grow bags

[Sticky fingers]

Morning all! I was wondering if anybody uses non woven grow bags for their seedlings. And do you remove the bags for transplanting?
Thank you.

This is an old thread my friend.
I grow in Fabric pots as do many ppl on here.

i have never used them. I like plastic. I have heard they dry out quicker and are hard to clean.

I rinse my used bags in hot soapy water in bucket wash out well and into washer machine
Come out pretty clean. I then soak them and rinse them a few times in clean water to make sure no soap residue is left over in them

They dry out a little faster but i like that. Just means more oxygen is being pulled in and my roots are being air pruned. My plants love them. As for as cleaning,,they clean pretty easy to me. I mean they will never look shinny like plastic but they dont need to. I clean mine and spray them down with Alcohol. Easy Peasy.
My pepper plants have never been so big. My lemons love them too. I had no problems with watering with my girls.
But to each his own.

Oh I go to the Laundromat

I do like the fact that they breathe better. But I need to retain moisture the best I can. My plants will suck a 5 gal pot dry in 3 days.

I reread this , they are not Trojans they are grow bags just to be clear

I don't know where a laundromat is.....I haven't been in one since the 60's. Like drive in theaters...fart in the wind.

I made the mistake of trying the 3 gallon ones
Watered almost daily

When I did Hydro in coco/perlite I used 5-gallon bags and had to water every day to keep the medium wet

I go by what size oif plant im dealing with as to what size Pot to use. My Peppers plants are in 7 Gallon Fabric Pots and they love it. I probably go through 8 gallons of water daily but i love working in my garden.

I tried tomato in 7 gallon ones found I had to water them everyday by hand because they were in the bag
In the ground my sprinkler system waters them much more evenly and they get way more water.

Lorellehosea, tell us what your preference on pots are.

I keep a big trash can with PHed water. I have no problem watering everyday if needed. I enjoy it.
I only use small plastic pots for seedlings.
