400 Pcs Plant Nursery Bags 5" x 6.89" Non-Woven Plant Seeding Grow Bags Degradable for Home or Outdoor Garden Supply (12.7x17.5cm)

My clones had shoots popping out in 7 days.

These are great and make sense.

I like that I can easily soak and drain a pouch to provide both moisture and aeration. I use a 50/50 coir-perlite (or vermiculite), coarsest grade, mix, with some coarse grade compost; my plants are bare root conifer seedlings, and the pouch size is the largest size offered here, rather deeper than wide (3+ inches); it holds a lot of soil when full, and the weight of a drenched full pouch of coir-mix is considerable. The pouch drains fast and completely, and the pot should be set on something that allows air to permeate up through the bottom; the top of the potted seedling does dry more quickly than the bottom, so when I water, I sink the whole thing in a water basin until bubbling stops, then I drain it so air is pulled down into the soil as the water drains out; it's a way to get air into a deep, water retentive pot, and it seems to work OK with these small conifers in fabric pouches. It's been a couple of weeks since I set these up, and I have yet to see any roots coming to the sides BUT --- the saplings are growing and starting secondary growth. The pots were really not deep enough to accommodate the roots; perhaps a deeper narrower would serve better, but I potted them as is, with no root pruning, and they are doing fine.I am potting these up because they arrived out of dormancy and it was way too cold to plant them outside. It is my hope to grow them on inside, in bright light, until they have a root growth strong enough to survive planting outside; I put them out on nice days and am increasing their exposure to sun. Although the pouches are more stable turned inside-out, they need support in even the smallest of winds; they need to be fully watered and drained every 3-4 days, and they are easy to over-water if the soil does not have enough air spaces (most run-of-the-mill potting soils do not). I am thinking I would like to eventually plant my pouches in bigger, more substantial pots, but I am starting to really like the aerating capacity of these. I like that I can provide so much water and still keep the soil adequately aerated. Am considering using some mesh pots with this type of bag, or maybe even potting up my transplants to a larger peat pot. These pouches are quite economical to use and seem to work well for potting up plants intended for transplanting at a later date. I think they could be great and will continue to play with them.

I am loving these for seed starting and transplanting my seedlings into bigger containers. They are very sturdy. They are a little harder to fill than a pot but not too bad. I'll update for how they do once they are transplanted into the gardenUpdate Sept. 2020- These things are super durable. I actually reused a lot of my old bags a second season with new seedlings. The roots grow right through them and so for things like corn that dislikes being transplanted (we live in a cold climate and have to start them inside), they did very well and there were no root bound plants. They probably eventually break down but after two summers I'm still finding completes sturdy bags in my garden soil. Luckily they don't jam up my tiller but I do have to walk through after tilling and pick up all the old bags. I like the smallest size the best for seed starting. The bags hold A LOT of dirt. I also find it a lot more time consuming to fill the bags because you have to hold them open while filling and can't fill more than one at a time, unlike with plastic pots or starter trays. But I love how these bags perform so I'm trying to come up with a tool to hold open multiple bags at a time while I fill them.

They don’t really rot out so I have to dig them back up after I clean out my garden

Late winter/early spring. I started seeds on paper towels in zip lock bags. Bought a heat pad at HD. Turns out you need a temp regulator or your heat pad can go from 60F to 109F. I know because I stuck my outdoor temp sensor on the heat pad... Anyway, after the 2nd attempt, the seeds germinated. I put them in peat moss pods. They out grew them. I thought of using Solo cups when I noticed these bags. Cost effective. Plentiful. Easy to pack together in a tray. Put the whole thing in the container garden when the seedlings grow to plants.This works best when turned inside out as other reviewers stated. I filled mine with coco coir and potting mix. I did my best to flatten the bottom or they woud cant to one side. I bought an LED grow light and watered from the bottom. It absorbs well. Dries out quickly compared to cups. I water once in the AM. The seedlings did not do much until after about 1.5 weeks. See photo. Those are watermelon, honey dew, cantelope, and cucumbers.

These DO NOT breakdown!!! I bought these and used them for the 2021 season. I was just working on my garden and found one completely intact. I’ve found others in years prior but I was so annoyed I came inside to write a review. Yes, some roots can get out of the bag but some of my seedlings were definitely stunted because they DID NOT BIODEGRADE like they said.

I really like these plant nursery bags. I purchased a lot of mixed sizes (400 total). Recently loaded most of them with soil mix and seeds. They look to be doing what I had hoped. I've used Styrofoam cups before (which don't seem to breathe); homemade paper pots (which break down too fast and fall apart too easily); nursery pots (which can be expensive) aluminum pans (which work with tiny seeds that won't grow much). But these are better. The largest size I bought is about (my estimate) 1/2 the volume of a 1 gallon nursery pot. The medium about half that and the small about twice the size of an expanded peat pellet (tall). I could fit between 54 and 66 small & medium filled bags in my seeding trays. They are lightweight, but have fiber throughout their weave and do not break down when wetted. I am watched my seedlings and will be eager to see if the roots stop or grow through. They are PH neutral (unlike peat pots and pellets). So far I am very pleased.
