For over a decade, Root Pouch has cultivated strong relationships with horticulture nurseries in every state.
From J. Frank Schmidt to Twin Lakes Nursery, our excellence in fabric grow bag manufacturing is highlighted by partnering with the best growers in the U.S.
Whether your operation grows plants in-ground, pot-in-pot or in a container yard, Root Pouch has a fabric grow bag product that can help you. There are also options for specimen tree or even greenhouse growers.
Root Pouch containers provide several advantages for in-ground growing. Natural fibers draw water from the surrounding soil and offer thermal and moisture capabilities. The container creates a dense fibrous root and allows growers to harvest with 100% of the root structure.
Here are four reasons pot-in-pot nurseries should consider using Root Pouch.
- Prevents roots from exiting into the socket pot
- Adds thermal and moisture control
- Forms dense fibrous lateral roots
- Root pruning
Traditional plastic containers don’t provide any horticultural benefit. Root Pouch’s fabric grow bags discourage root circling and promote dense roots. Here are several reasons to use Root Pouch for container-yard growing operations.
- Natural fibers are evenly distributed throughout the bag for moisture retention and control
- Automatic root pruning creates dense, fibrous lateral roots
- Sturdy handles for transporting
- No sharp edges to damage accompanying plants when shipping
- Less blow-over because the pouch forms to the ground and isn’t tapered
Nurseries can load up to 15% more trees per truckload with fabric grow bags than with the same size plastic. Here are advantages for specimen tree growing.
- Ultra-heavyweight fabric replacing large containers and wooden boxes
- More economical
- In sizes up to 670 gallons
- Cost savings on shipping
For greenhouse growing, Root Pouch offers fabrics specifically designed for crops on short cycles. Our technology helps you hit your deadlines with extra root growth.
- Lightweight material protects roots from damage
- Thermal and moisture control for healthier roots
- Less transplant shock
- Sizes from 1 pint up
Root Pouch inserts and liners are an option for when the pot you are using can use a helping hand.
