Planting Root Pouches
Succulent Inspiration w/ Root Pouch
Planting a Summer Foodscape Container with Root Pouch
Roof top garden with Root Pouches planted at the Washington Nationals baseball stadium. The herbs and vegetables grown in the garden are used by the vendors of the stadium.
Growers/Gardeners often choose to grow in containers when space for a traditional soil garden is limited or has undesirable traits like little sun or poor soil. Containers also offer an alternative food source for the health and environmentally conscious urbanite with access to a sunny balcony or apartment rooftop. Either way when space is limited and your garden needs to be ‘contained’ it is important to remember that just because space is limited doesn’t mean that your growing options have to be. Root Pouch fabric containers are perfect for the urban/ home grower.
All size suggestions are simply guidelines, specific growing needs may vary.

Start by planting about half way up from the bottom of the pouch. As the plant grows continue to fill up the pouch with a loose soil-mix, fluffy compost or even straw to allow the spuds to develop in a non-compacted environment. This approach can also be used when growing leeks.

TIPS
For best results, when growing fruits or vegetables in containers there is an inherent need to use fertilizer. Both synthetic and organic forms of fertilization can be used. For plant nutrient guidance, consult your local garden center or greenhouse. It is suggested to wash the Root Pouch in-between uses, with earth friendly soaps allowing the pouch to air dry. We also suggest using certified organic potting mix in your plantings. When growing indoors place pouch on a tray to protect surfaces.
Happy Gardening.

“Made entirely from recycled water bottles and natural materials, these soft, malleable pots from Hillsboro company Root Pouch offer an alternative to the traditional hard plastic. The eco company snagged a big award in Spain last fall, taking home the Iberflora Innovation Technology Award for most advanced green item in the already-green horticulture category.” Photo by Michael Novak
