I used to think those little fabric grow bags were a waste of money.
For years, I stuck with plastic pots because they were cheap and lasted. Last spring, I bought a 5-gallon fabric bag on a whim for a tomato plant, just to see. The plant grew twice as big as the ones in my hard pots, and the roots looked so much healthier when I cleaned it out in the fall. I'm convinced it's because the fabric lets air get to the roots and stops them from getting stuck in a circle. Has anyone else switched over and noticed a big change with a certain plant?

Ever try putting a regular plastic saucer underneath? I found that helps a ton with the drying out, it lets the bottom soak up a little extra water without staying soggy. I also started mixing in some coconut coir with my potting soil, it holds moisture way better.
