A round pot in a square bed wastes the space between the curves, and that space is the whole margin on a bench or a balcony. This one is square: the walls sit flat against one another, so a row of them covers the area it occupies instead of leaving gaps. The body is heavyweight non-woven felt at 820 gsm, which holds its shape under a full root ball while still breathing and draining. Corners carry the load on a square bag, so they are bound and stitched with reinforced nodes rather than a single seam.
Square against round is not a style choice on a bench. A round pot leaves four gaps around it that nothing grows in, and on a paid-for square metre that is the difference between a crop and a margin.
Square walls sit flat against each other, so a row of pots covers the space it occupies instead of leaving gaps between circles, and a bench or a balcony rail carries more plants for the same footprint. The body is heavyweight non-woven felt at 820 gsm, dense enough to hold its shape under a full root ball and still breathe, so air reaches the root zone and surplus water leaves through the wall. Corners are where a square bag fails, so they are bound and stitched with reinforced nodes instead of relying on a single seam.
Tomatoes, potatoes and nursery stock all run in the same body. On a bench the square profile lines up, on a balcony a row of them uses the full width of the rail, and in a nursery the flat walls mean the pots can be pushed together for transport without wedging. Two stitched handles take the weight at lifting. The wall system is shared across the air pruning pot range.

| Packing | Bag, pallet or carton |
A square bag carries its load at the corners, so the edges are bound and the corner joints are stitched with reinforced nodes that spread the pull into the felt rather than concentrating it on one line of thread. The handles are set into the wall on the same principle. The flat base keeps the pot standing square on a bench while it is filled, and a full pot can be lifted by the handles without emptying it. Smaller propagation formats sit alongside in the seedling and propagation range.
Tell us the square dimensions, volumes and colours your programme works to, since the body is built to order and trim colours can be matched to a swatch. Orders ship in bags, on pallets or in cartons, and the flat pot stores in a fraction of the space a stack of rigid planters takes. The wider soft container range sits in the planting bag range. Container and growing media supply is covered at HortiDaily and FreshPlaza.
Does a square pot really save space?
Yes. Square walls sit flat together, so a row covers its footprint instead of leaving the gaps that round pots leave between them.
What holds a square bag together at the corners?
The edges are bound and the corner joints are stitched with reinforced nodes, so the pull at the corner spreads into the felt rather than resting on one seam.
How are bulk orders packed?
In bags, on pallets or in cartons, with mixed sizes and colours combined in one load.
Tell us the dimensions, colours and volumes your programme needs, and we will come back with the packing plan, sample and lead time.
