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.

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
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.

What ships and how to pick a size
What you get
  • Grassroots fabric pot with MoistureLock liner sewn in
  • 4" breathable aeration strip at the bottom
  • Triple-hemmed top edge
  • Marine-bonded outside bottom seam
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]
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.

This item came with plush missingand thread unraveling on one leg
Color: Blue
I bought this toy because my dog spent a week playing with the same toy from Zanies that belonged to a visiting dog. My dog was very gentle with this toy, which he loved, so we decided to find one for him. The toy that arrived had no Zanies label and missing plush on the bottom where the label should have been, plus other bare spots in the area that showed the white mesh beneath. It also had a long thread at the joint of a rear leg so I knotted it at the joint and clipped it to prevent my dog from pulling at it but it's apparent that the sewing is loose and wont last long. The color was also much lighter than the toy he'd been playing with that belonged to the guest dog but I figured it might just be from a different dye lot (it was not bought at Amazon but their local pet store.) I am not convinced this is a real Zanies toy. There were two labels in French and it said it was made in China. I am returning this toy and will get a replacement and see how it looks. If it seems like it will fall apart or is not the real thing I will return it immediately. If it has a label and is in good shape and sewn well at the seams I'll revise this review.

Fantastic Dog Toy!!!
Color: Purple
This is a great toy!!! My dog has lots of toys. But one of the problems is he has trouble getting the squeaker to squeak. He's an 18 lb terrier mix, and those squeakers are just elusive. Breaks my heart. This one, though, the squeakers (there are two) are in small areas (head and tail), that are easy for him to get his whole mouth around and squeak. They also don't move, which also makes them easy to squeak. So he's been squeaking up a storm since he got this! Other plusses: * The material is great (soft, furry material, that seems to be of good quality). * The toy expands and contracts, which is fun. * It's pleasant to look at. All in all, I'd say this is one of the best dog toys I've ever bought for my dog. Highly recommended!

Great Toy in Spite of Everything.
Color: Purple
My dog is a border collie. She loves chewing, fetching, tug of war and catch. The first day we had this toy she chewed off two of the feet. I didn't give it much of a life span. Two weeks later she chewed off a third foot. Miraculously no stuffing was exposed. It has now been a month and the toy is still going strong, albeit with one foot! She loves it. It is now June 1st. It has been almost three months and I am retiring the toy. It no longer has any feet and the tail has been ripped open and stuffing is coming out. All in all I think I got my money's worth from this toy. I ordered another one. She still loves it!

Awesome, but not the best squeakers.
Color: Purple
I bought the orange gecko for my 5-month-old Corgi puppy. He absolutely loves it. He came up with a "game" (sort of) where if I pick it up and start squeaking one of the ends/squeakers really quickly over and over, he'll grab the other end/squeaker and start doing the same thing with me. It was really cute until one of the squeakers stopped working about a week after I bought it... but I guess the toy wasn't too expensive, and he doesn't really seem to mind that one of the squeakers doesn't work anymore. I might buy another next time I do an Amazon order (so I can get the free shipping) and see if it lasts a little longer.
