Why Plants Love Growing in Geoplanters and Geopots

1) Aeration.  With a Geoplanter, the entire surface of the bag provides aeration. 

2) Drainage.  The main reason that most plants die when grown in containers, is inadequate or poor drainage.  With a Geoplanter, drainage is quick and thorough.  It would be almost impossible to over water your plants.

3) Planting Mix.  A container garden must use a light fluffy potting mix to create tiny air pockets for aeration and to provide drainage.  Because aeration is dramatically increased by using a Geoplanter, you can use a heavier, less expensive planting mix, perhaps even ordinary soil and compost.

4) Heat.  The plant's roots are less stressed by high temperatures because Geoplanters stay cooler than the enclosed non-breathing (anaerobic) environment inside a hard plastic pot.

5) Fibrous Root Mass.  Geoplanters produce a far greater root mass than plants grown in hard plastic containers. Geoplanters and Geopots naturally provide air root pruning as the roots grow towards the sides of the geotextile fabric. The root stops growing in length and instead develops many fine root branches. Geoplanters eliminate "root circling" to provide a healthier growing environment.

6) Lightweight.  Geoplanters and especially Geopots are lightweight, most have handles and may be folded-up at seasons end for storage.

Our South Florida climate can be brutal and makes growing herbs and vegetables a bit challenging. Building planting beds can be expensive and labor intensive. Why not consider ordering some of these great Grow Bags or Grow Planters?

According to a study done by Catherine A. Neal at the University of New Hampshire, Dept. of Plant Biology.

“In comparison to standard black plastic nursery pots, above ground fabric containers reduce maximum root zone temperatures through evaporative cooling and reduced absorption of solar radiation. Plants grown in fabric containers also have improved root structure as a result of air root pruning.”

Geopots and Geoplanters 
A wise choice for the urban farmer!

Container gardening is a great way to grow plants. For years and years this has been the way nurseries and many gardeners enjoyed growing plants. Containers of many materials had been utilized. I remember my Grand Dad complaining about the poor soil we have here in many parts of South Florida. 

Every year as we entered into the fall season, he and my Dad would begin preparing planting beds for the vegetable gardens. Wow, what a job that was!

Grand Dad eventually tired of preparing the planting beds and started growing in plastic pots. He did a great job and we enjoyed lots of great tomatoes, eggplants, sweet potato and many other vegetables. 

As we move forward in our gardening adventures, many new container systems have evolved. Today we really don't need to prepare planting beds.  We can grow a crop using plastic containers and systems of all kinds.

The one disadvantage of plastic containers is the lack of soil aeration and the development of root bound plants. In a hard container, be it plastic, styrofoam, wood or terracotta the roots circle and grow thick. These thick circling roots can slow down the plants development. Roots are often not able to absorb nutrients as easily. Roots also heat up quite a bit and that can stress out your plant and limit its production of fruits and vegetables.

Make gardening easier, save time and grow bigger healthier plants.

Plastic or wooden planter boxes are bulky and require storage when not in use. A Geopot can be easily washed, rinsed and dried so it can be folded and put away easily. Minimal space is required to keep them. It's like folding a shirt or pair of shorts! How easy is that?

No need to buy bulky often chemically treated lumber or waste time, money and energy building planting beds. You can enjoy gardening without breaking your back. Grow anywhere, indoors or outdoors. You can order Geopots with handles and even special transplant seams. You can use garden soil and save money compared to purchasing potting mix if you prefer*.
Choose pots or planters made with black or tan fabric. Black fabric absorbs more heat and in some areas that’s good. Other growers may choose the tan fabric that stays a little cooler.

All Geopot and Geoplanters are made in the United States from durable UV protected fabric.

Now here is another great reason you should use Geopots. They actually provide a healthier environment for the plants root zone. Plastic containers can hold too much water and drain poorly. Plastic containers over heat the soil and root aeration is poor. Terra cotta can dry out too quickly. Your Geopot or Geoplanter will provide more air circulation and natural root pruning. All this means you grow a bigger healthier plant.

Grow a tree in a bag
Why not grow a fruit tree and take it with you when you move?

You can purchase Geoplanters large enough to grow almost anything, compact enough for the patio, deck or condo balcony. All bags are durable and constructed from recycled materials to help us all benefit from a greener planet.

*Always remember that the quality of your soil, its biological health and nutrient content are fundamental to crop success or failure. Geopots and Geoplanters work best when placed on a hard surface. Roots could grow at the bottom of the bag and tap into the soil. Roots growing all along the in sides of the bag are air root pruned and do not grow out of the fabric.
