Balcony growing is usually sold one bag at a time, which leaves the buyer to work out how many they need. This format is packed six to a set instead, at 10 gallon each, so a balcony run arrives as one unit and can be priced and shipped as one. The bag itself is the practical version: a 13.3 inch body with an activity window low in the wall, so potatoes and root crops are checked and picked by hand without emptying the bag.
Balcony growing is usually sold one bag at a time, which leaves the buyer to work out how many they need and the supplier to price a single unit. Packing them as a set solves both.
The format is packed six to a set at 10 gallon each, which is roughly a balcony run of tomatoes, herbs and potatoes. Selling it as one unit means one carton, one price and one shipping line, and the buyer gets a matched set rather than six bags bought at different times. The body is 13.3 inches wide, so six of them sit along a rail or a floor without crowding.
Potatoes and root crops finish below the surface with no sign from above, so the activity window sits low in the wall where the tubers actually form. The cover rolls back and holds clear, sized tubers come out by hand, and the plant carries on growing above. The felt breathes and drains, so compost in a warm balcony corner does not stay soaked. The wall system is shared across the air pruning pot range.
| Use | Balcony vegetables and herbs |
| Material | Non-woven felt fabric |
| Form | Round |
| Size | 10 gallon, 13.3 in wide |
| Pack | Six bags per set |
| Window | Activity window, 7 in, for root crops |
| Handles | Double thread stitched handles |
| Packing | Bag, pallet or carton |
The handles are stitched through the wall on a double thread, so a full 10 gallon bag can be carried by the handle rather than dragged. The window cover rolls back and stays clear while the crop is picked, then closes again between pickings, and the base is finished flat and reinforced so the bag stands level on a balcony floor. Starter trays sit alongside in the seedling and propagation range.
Tell us the pack quantities, volumes and colours your programme works to, since the sets are assembled to order and a printed logo can be added on programme quantities. Orders ship in bags, on pallets or in cartons, and the flat bag stores in a fraction of the space a stack of rigid pots takes. The wider soft container range sits in the planting bag range. Container and growing media supply is covered at HortiDaily and FreshPlaza.
