Keep beneficial microbes active from seed to harvest

Grassroots Living Soil Fabric Pots use a BPA-free waterproof MoistureLock liner that covers the upper walls, leaving a 4" breathable aeration strip at the bottom. Water moves downward through the soil profile instead of escaping out the sides, keeping microbiology active throughout the root zone. Available in 10 sizes from 3 to 200 gallons, these pots work indoors and outdoors, fold flat for storage, and are machine washable between cycles.

Side by side
Standard fabric pots vs. Grassroots Living Soil Pots
Standard Fabric Pots
  • Soil dries from all sides simultaneously, creating dry pockets where microbiology dies off
  • Fast wet/dry cycle demands more frequent watering and raises indoor humidity
  • Water escapes through the sidewalls, leaving salt deposits on the outside of the fabric
  • Soil biology can't survive the repeated dry-outs at the pot edges
  • Bottom seam sits in moisture and rots over time, shortening pot lifespan
  • No differentiation between aeration zone and moisture zone
Grassroots Living Soil Pots
  • MoistureLock liner keeps moisture even throughout the soil mass, supporting biology edge to edge
  • Slower, natural top-down dry cycle means less watering, lower labor, and lower humidity indoors
  • Water is directed downward into the soil, not out the sides, keeping your grow area cleaner
  • Consistent moisture lets you reuse soil between cycles for true no-till growing
  • Bottom seam sewn on the outside with marine-bonded thread to prevent rot from soil contact
  • Dedicated 4" aeration strip at the bottom for air pruning and oxygen exchange
What makes it different
The same MoistureLock technology used in the Grassroots raised beds

MoistureLock Liner BPA-Free

A waterproof, chemically inert liner covers the upper pot walls while a 4" strip of breathable fabric at the bottom handles aeration. Water moves downward through the profile instead of escaping sideways, mimicking natural soil moisture patterns.

4" Aeration Strip for Air Pruning

The bottom section of breathable fabric promotes oxygen exchange and prevents root circling. You get the drainage and air-pruning benefits of fabric pots without the side-drying problem.

Natural Top-Down Drying

Soil dries from the surface downward, the same way it works in the ground. Fungi, bacteria, and beneficial organisms stay active throughout the root zone instead of dying off at the pot edges.

10 Sizes from 3 to 200 Gallons

3 and 5 gallon for small plants and tight spaces. 7 to 20 gallon for most indoor grows. 30 to 200 gallon for large plants, outdoor gardens, and commercial setups.

Marine-Bonded Construction

Bottom seam is sewn on the outside with marine-bonded thread to prevent rot. Top edges are triple-hemmed. The fabric is UV-resistant, machine washable, and folds flat for storage.

Lower Humidity Indoors

Less surface area for water to escape the container means less moisture released into your grow room. Especially helpful in tents and sealed environments where humidity control matters.

How to use your Grassroots pot

1

Set the pot on a saucer or tray

Place the pot where it will stay. Even with MoistureLock, some water will drain from the bottom aeration strip during heavy watering. A standard plant saucer works for smaller sizes.

2

Fill with living soil

Add your soil mix, leaving 2 to 4 inches of headroom for mulch and top dressing. For transplants, dig a hole in the soil and fill the pocket with a seed-starting mix rather than planting directly into the main soil.

3

Water and mulch

Water until you see a small amount of runoff from the bottom strip. Add a layer of straw, cover crop, or mulch on the surface to reduce evaporation and feed the soil biology.

4

Reuse between cycles

After harvest, chop the stem at soil level and leave the roots to decompose. Top dress with compost and amendments, then replant. The soil gets better with each cycle.

Sizing guide
  • 3 to 5 gal: Clones, small plants, limited space, seed starts
  • 7 to 15 gal: Most indoor grows, single-plant tents
  • 20 to 30 gal: No-till runs, larger plants, outdoor grows
  • 65 to 200 gal: Outdoor gardens, commercial grows, trees
Not sure which size? For living soil, bigger is generally better since more soil volume means a larger nutrient battery and more stable biology. Most indoor growers land on 10 to 20 gallon. Call us: 716-217-0353 / [email protected]
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Regular fabric pots are breathable on all sides, which causes soil to dry from the edges inward. That kills off the beneficial fungi and bacteria living in the outer portion of the soil. Grassroots pots have a waterproof MoistureLock liner covering the upper walls, so water is forced downward through the soil instead of escaping out the sides. A 4" strip of breathable fabric at the bottom still provides aeration and air pruning. The result is a natural top-down drying pattern that keeps biology alive throughout the pot.
You can use any growing medium, but the MoistureLock design is optimized for living soil and organic methods where consistent moisture supports soil biology. If you're running salt-based fertigation, you typically want faster dry-back between feedings, which standard fabric pots handle better. These pots are at their best with organic, no-till, and living soil approaches.
For living soil, more volume means a bigger nutrient battery and more stable biology. Most indoor growers use 10 to 20 gallon pots. A 10-gallon (16" diameter) fits well in a 2x2 tent. A 15 or 20 gallon works in a 3x3 or 4x4 tent with room for multiple plants. If you want to do true no-till and reuse the same soil for multiple cycles, 15 gallon or larger gives the biology enough mass to sustain itself between runs.
Yes, especially indoors. The MoistureLock liner prevents most side runoff, but the breathable bottom strip will still let some water through during heavy watering. A standard plant saucer works for the smaller sizes. For 30 gallon and up, look for a plastic utility tray or a flood table.
Yes. Blumat carrots and Blusoak drip lines work well in these pots. The MoistureLock liner makes automated irrigation more effective because water stays in the soil longer, so there's less wasted to evaporation. A gravity reservoir positioned about 2 feet above the pot is enough to run a Blumat system. We carry Blumat products if you want to pair them.
Grassroots estimates 3 to 5 years in outdoor settings and 5 to 8 years indoors. The fabric is UV-resistant and machine washable on a cool cycle. Air dry only, do not tumble dry. The marine-bonded thread on the bottom seam resists rot from prolonged soil contact, which is where most fabric pots fail first.

An important contribution
The historiography of secession is a complex one. For much of the last century there had been a tendency for historians to underplay the importance of slavery as a cause of the American civil war. Certaintly neo-Confederate apologists have sought to euphemize the cause of the conflict to an issue over tariffs, to matters of states rights, or to the "extremism" of the abolitionists. It is quite clear that these excuses will not survive a reading of this book. Sinha clearly shows, in her examination of South Carolina secessionism from nullifaction to fort Sumter, that slavery was the essence of its concerns. To show this she looks at the nullification crisis, the Mexican war, the Compromise of 1850, the South Carolinian movement to reopen the slave trade, and the secession crisis, based on exhaustive research of no less than 137 sets of private papers and diaries. But Sinha wishes not simply to refute the academically unimportant group of neo-Calhounites. She wishes to argue something broader. The South Carolinian defense of slavery was not, as many serious historians suggest today, simply the working out of the Southern American view of liberty. Increasingly, Sinha argues, South Carolina pro-slavery thought was not the expression of Southern Republicanism, but increasingly its very negation. It was not a coincidence that secessionism was strongest in South Carolina, the only state by 1832 where presidential electors and the governor were not popularly elected, where the legislature was crudely malapportioned, and where local offices were limited by the state government. It was also not a coincidence that slaves were a majority of South Carolinians, and slaveholders nearly a majority of South Carolinian whites. And it certainly was not a coincidence that non-slaveholders were noticeably less enthusiastic for nullification, secession in 1851 and secession in 1861. But although Southern nationalist discourse was clearly elitist and pro-slavery, does Sinha show that it was counter-revolutionary? A certain opposition to democracy was evident after all in the many, perhaps most, of the founding fathers. But as Sinha points out leading Carolinians like Calhoun, Senator James Chesnut and the creepy, incestuous James Hammond all sneered at the Declaration of Independence. She quotes one bravado warping PatricK Henry to declare "Give me Slavery or give me death." Notwithstanding the views of some historians to the contrary the South Carolinians criticized the North less for its oppression of wage laborers than the possiblity that those laborers could vote themselves into power. They did not condemn Lincoln as an intolerant Protestant but as a dangerous socialist and feminist. Moreover, they were not slow to raise the Nativist card against the immigrants who were bolstering the North's population. Calhoun's idea of a concurrent majority was not a thoughtful protection of minority rights, but a way to prevent one minority, his own, from ever being outvoted. Once the Confederacy was set up the elite dispensed with political parties. Looking at South Carolina they also began to dispense with competitive elections, while its ruthless elite certainly did not act sentimentally (or even decently) towards opinions on slavery. In conclusion there have been many frauds and bullies in American political life: the Nixons, the Hoovers, the McCarthys, the Tillmans and the Bilbos. But much of their malignancy was purely personal and they never threatened the core ideals of the republic. Calhoun was different, very different. Extremely intelligent, he was also utterly principled, and absolutely ruthless in carrying out that one principle. The problem was that the principle, despite all the complications of honor and paternalism, was slavery. More so than anyone else, Calhoun was the greatest enemy of liberty and freedom the United States ever had. Sinha's book is an important contribution to understanding that.

Wow, this book was so useful
Format: Paperback
This book is so practical, so clearly laid out, so full of useful things. I am honestly in awe that someone took the time to make a book that is this helpful-- I can't imagine how many hours it must have taken to distill all of this knowledge and then present it in a readable way. I am a geologist but not a petrologist, and I had to become a petrologist in a real hurry for a project that I was doing. I was really stumbling through the dark there until this book turned on the light. Never knew I could feel so grateful and indebted to a book about geochemistry.
