Joe- These are not pots, but I've had good luck with the smaller grow bags. I prefer the white bags because of the heat. I've used quite a few one and two gallon bags. They need to be filled nearly to the top, otherwise the top folds over the soil and prevents water from entering. I have also used a few three gallon grow bags and they become difficult to move when the soil is saturated with water. The logistics of moving a 5 or 10 gallon grow bag has given me pause. Perhaps when completely dry they are tractable. One advantage of the bags is that I can pack them more tightly than conventional pots. They can also be relatively cheap and are easy to transport (when folded). Here is one link to the bags: http://www.wormsway.com/detail.asp?sku=SBG302 Regards, -Phil >From: "Joe Shaw" <jshaw@opuntiads.com> >Reply-To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> >To: <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> >Subject: [pbs] 5-gallon contaniers, vendors, etc. >Date: Sun, 10 Sep 2006 19:21:12 -0500 > >Hi Gang, > > > >I'm writing because I'm looking for a source (inexpensive is good) of >5-gallon containers (4-, 5-, or 7-gallon, ca. 20-24 liters).
