They worked as expected. They are groI think, these are a really cool idea- although my clients bags look identical to mine, hers has a clear plastic liner insert that is placed in the flap towards the bottom. Mine didn't come with that insert so if I open the flap all the soil is probably going to fall out. I haven't planted anything in them yet.These seem to work well. They were easy to fill, keep their shape, and my potatoes are starting to grow.I love the handles to move it if I have to. Like lifting the flip to see the veggies growing. Just careful when doing it so the dirt doesn’t fall out. Very sturdy bags.I put potatoes in these and they seem to be doing well.Easy to setupSo far I love these planters, my potatoes are already sprouting in under a month, I move my containers alot it's still early in my area for planting outside as we can get frost until late May so they go in and out depending on the temperature. The material seems to be very breathable as I have potato plants already. I only hope they are sturdy enough to withstand roots so that I can use them for more than one growing seasonI was initially unsure how well my plants would do in these fabric pots, but I have been very pleasantly surprised.The best part is the fact that I need to water the plants in the fabric pots less frequently than I do plants in regular plastic planters. They just don't dry out as fast.Also, the velcro flap on the side of the pots is very secure. I've never had one pop open.I will be purchasing more of these pots for next seasons plantings!
