Field production usually means planting into the ground, which then has to be worked, treated and rotated. The alternative is a row of bags standing on a weed mat, filled on site and cleared at the end of the crop. This pot is built for that scale rather than for a balcony: tear resistant felt, sturdy reinforced handles for lifting a full bag down a row, and a wall that drains so a run does not sit in a wet strip. It survives more than one growing season, so the row is refilled rather than replaced.
Field production usually means planting into the ground, which then has to be worked, treated and rotated. A row of bags standing on a weed mat is the alternative.
The row is laid out on weed mat or bare ground, filled where it stands and planted, which removes the ground work entirely: no cultivation, no fumigation and no rotation to plan. Because the wall drains through the side rather than the base, a run does not leave a wet strip under every pot, and the felt breathes so roots meet air at the face and branch instead of circling. At the end of the crop the bags are emptied and refilled rather than replaced.
Handles are sturdy and reinforced, because a full pot at this scale is moved by hand from the filling point to its place in the row, and the anchors have to survive that repeatedly. The felt is highly tear resistant and double sewn, which is what makes a second and third season realistic rather than a claim. Carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and fruit all run in the same wall. The wall system is shared across the air pruning pot range.
| Use | Field rows of vegetables and fruit |
| Material | Non-woven felt fabric |
| Form | Round |
| Placement | Weed mat, bare ground or raised beds |
| Handles | Sturdy reinforced handles |
| Fabric | Highly tear resistant, double sewn |
| Reuse | Reusable across growing seasons |
| Packing | Bag, pallet or carton |
The base is finished flat and stitched so a pot sits level on matting without rocking, which matters when a run is laid out by eye and watered from a line. The rim is turned so the felt does not fray where it is gripped, and the handle anchors are sized to the load rather than being the same on every format. Larger tree formats sit with the tree and nursery container range.
Tell us the diameters, volumes and quantities your programme works to, since the felt is needled to order and a printed logo can be added on programme quantities. Orders ship in bags, on pallets or in cartons, and the flat pot stores in a fraction of the space a stack of rigid containers takes, which matters when a thousand of them arrive before planting. The wider soft container range sits in the planting bag range. Container and growing media supply is covered at HortiDaily and FreshPlaza.
Can the pots be reused for the next crop?
Yes. The felt is tear resistant and double sewn, so the pot is emptied and refilled for the following season rather than replaced.
Do they need to stand on matting?
Weed mat keeps the row clean and stops rooting through, but bare ground works too.
How are bulk orders packed?
In bags, on pallets or in cartons, with mixed sizes combined in one load.
Tell us the sizes, quantities and any printing your programme needs, and we will come back with the packing plan, sample and lead time.
