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.

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.

A Decent Fae Romance
Format: Kindle
** 3.5 Stars rounded up to 4 **
First off I want to say that I found the author, J. D. Linton, on TikTok right before the release of the sequel. I bought the first 2 books to support her release, so congrats to her for the release of the sequel!
Overall, I liked the story & plot, I liked the characters, and I liked the spice. The downfalls: not enough development between the characters for the romance, and it leaned a little heavy into the tropes. A lot of stuff is told to you, which could have been used as devices to drive the plot and emotions of the characters.
🛑🛑 Mild Spoilers ahead, I tried to hide the obvious ones 🛑🛑
This is very obviously a fated mates, which is a trope I usually really enjoy. But I wish the relationship between Ara & Rogue had much more development before it's realized that they're mates, instead of Rogue knowing almost immediately and using it for nefarious purposes (at least in the beginning before they get to know each other). By revealing this within the first quarter of the book, I feel like it leaves less room for them to fall for each other organically (albeit with help from the mating bond) and they love each other because of the mating bond. I was disappointed as soon as Rogue know (literally only 5% in) and I literally made a note: "As much as II love a good mating trope, I wish we had to work for it a little more. Where's the fun in just telling us?" I believe that by holding out and feeding the reader snippets of a potential bond, it would've been more rewarding as a reader.
I also wish there was more world building - we are told of a war between human & fae but don't get to really experience any of it. Ara is sheltered in her human home, then sheltered in Rogue's castle. There's bits and pieces about what the war has done on either side - but we're more told of the aftermath and don't really experience any of it. Ara's father is supposed to be the king's #1 general - yet he is at home with his family & with Ara for the first couple chapters. Her, her family, nor her village seem to be affected by the 10 year war going on on their borders. I wish there was a little more setup to make this conflict - an actual war - feel more than a skirmish between fighting territories.
Linton could also be a little repetitive - with the biggest culprit being when Ara is upset she "brings [her] knees to [her] chest]" and either sits like that or cries. Every time she is upset this phrase is mentioned. I would get it if this was her crutch, or how she copes with grief and stress, but that should be explained why she does it so often or it becomes repetitive. I started to get annoyed with how often she would sit like this solely because it happens every couple chapters.
However, I did really like the spice. I love an enemies to lovers trope, especially when it results in spicy scenes. The spicy scenes weren't anything new, but they were fun. Wish there were more but that could also just be me - there is no such thing as too much spice 😂
Would I read again? Probably not, I'm super picky with rereads. Although I did genuinely enjoy my first read through!
Will I continue the series? Probably, at least for the sequel. As for #3, kind of depends on where I am with my TBR once that is released
All in all an enjoyable, fast paced read

I love indie authors
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying—writing a book is HARD! Coming up with characters so real that they take on a life of their own, building an entire world, the political/magic system. Designing all of this is no easy feat.
That being said.
This book had so. Much. Potential. I was so excited to read this book, and I plan to finish it for the sake of finishing it. But. At this point, I would have set I’d aside as a DNF. The book could have benefited from some form of a developmental editor, or an in depth beta reader. I will say this. Within 5 chapters, there are so many… phrases that I’ve highlight that I’ve latched onto. Phrases about books and storms that were written BEAUTIFULLY! So, bravo Linton for hitting the nail on the head as to why readers disappear like they do!
However, 5 chapters in and I can already guess where a majority of the story is going. But that’s also because I read like a mad-woman and have read this particular type of story, many different ways. Enemies to lovers where the FMC isn’t who she thinks she is. I am all about supporting indie authors. BUT. I also feel like criticism should be constructive, and not degrading. So if I could give this book a 4 1/2, strictly because I know the work the author put into this, I would. So if you’re looking for an easy read with characters that aren’t hard to follow, look no further! They are easy to love and easy to care for. One of the biggest issues they lacked, to me, was depth and plausible reactions to their situations. JD, you have done BEAUTIFULLY writing this book. I applaud and will continue to buy your books in the future. My BIGGEST recommendation is to definitely hire some form of an editor for any upcoming books. Or in turn, I will be happy to beta read for you. Should my opinion change of the book by the time I finish, I will happily get on here and say I was wrong, delete this review and post a different one. Until then…

this book set my soul ablaze! <3
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
"i had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and i was grateful to see another calm morning."
this book. this book!
i loved the last storm so much. the writing style. the descriptions. the world-building. the characters. the plot twists. the tropes. the sexual tension. the—everything. everything was magic.
the last storm follows our two main characters, ara and rogue, giving us dual POV from both characters (which i loved, btw). ara, a human girl who has been locked away in her father’s estate most of her life, just wants to see the world. all she dreams of is seeing what else is out there. but when her father announces her engagement, she knows that dream will become nothing more than just that—a dream.
rogue, the fae king, is tired of the attacks being rained down on his people. in hopes of finding out the human king adon’s secrets, rogue infiltrates auryna’s borders. in his last resort to gain information, he visits the local pub. to his surprise, the general’s precious only child is sitting at the bar, drink round after round of mead. now he just needs to figure out how to take her without anyone noticing.
first and foremost, let’s talk about the endless list of my favorite tropes and aspects that this book had.
›› enemies to lovers
›› fated mates
›› one bed
›› the chosen one
›› elemental magic
›› actually good and shocking plot twists!!!
›› badass female lead
›› morally-grey love interest
›› fae/human war
›› force proximity
›› touch her and die
›› who did this to you?
›› captor/captive
›› praise k!nk (panting profusely)
“you are entirely the opposite of everything that i am, and i would gladly wear your shackles if it meant i could have you.”
it’s been a long while since i read a book i liked this much. but i just loved this book. it set my soul ablaze. thank you to the author for writing this beautiful story and for blessing me with an eARC! i loved it so much that i immediately bought the paperback upon release!
every aspect of this book was just beautiful. i was blown away by the way the world was described, the way feelings were portrayed, the way the elements were used in the fae’s magic. it just—AHHH! i just absolutely adored it all. i cannot wait for the second book to release next year!
also the way he calls her “little storm” sets my heart on fire.
this was a fast-paced read and if you are a lover of acotar, fbaa, deal with the elf king, or any other similar books, then please stop everything you’re doing and read this book right now. you won’t regret it.
thank you again, jd linton, for giving me the privilege of reading your arc and for blessing this world with the world you created. <3

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best.
To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn!
The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL.
THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo.
The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters.
Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes.
I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!
