Fabric Pots

I have read alot of the reviews on amazon especialy with the 247 brand that there 7 gal pots are really 5 gal and mold quickly?? Also on their website just to ship 100 its $64 lol plus the price and tax of each pot.I really have been trying to find a cost effective solution. By the time I spend the money on fabric,thread and a mini sewing machine to make my own it would be over $100 too plus time. I do have alot of free 3,4,and some 5 gal buckets from sams club but might only use those for doubles
 
The Walmart bags work pretty well. I had the same plants in buckets and the ones in the Wally bags were better performers. At 50cents each its a non issue if they only last 1 season. They fit in the white plastic dish tubs from Dollar Tree just fine. 5-6 of them fit in a cheap 45" plastic kiddie pool. Those cost around $9 at Walmart

This guy went a bit fancier with the rock and water line.

I saw a guy put the little net hydro pots in the bottom of Walmart bags, then built a little trough(idk if that's how you spell it) that the net pots from all his plants sat down into and self watered themselves. If I remember correctly the plants were doing good in them.

I thought about putting in posts and running that landscape fabric up the insides of the post to make raised beds. Still undecided as to what to do at plant out
