Regular fabric pots are made from breathable fabric that allows for excellent air pruning and drainage, but these specific features can create an interesting problem when used with living soils.
Soil in fabric containers dries quickly from the bottom and at the sides. This is generally great for hydroponic style irrigation, where you want quick drying and frequent watering. However, this quick drying at the sides creates a zone of soil that is not good at supporting soil microbial life. Here, the soil can get so dry the microbial communities go dormant or even die, and therefore cannot unlock nutrition from the soil and supply it to the plant. This zone around the edge of the pot is essentially wasted soil, that can be kept moist and allowed to flourish with microbial activity with the help the MoistureLock Liner.
Benefits of Living Soil Fabric Pots & Beds
Reduced Water & Energy Use
By preventing drainage and drying from all sides of the container, Living Soil Fabric Pots & Beds lengthen the wet-to-dry soil cycle. That means less water usage and lower humidity indoors.
Even Moisture + Drainage
Traditional fabric containers drain from all sides, which can cause dry pockets. Our Living Soil Fabric Pots & Beds direct water downward, ensuring even distribution throughout.
Improved Aeration
The 4” aeration strip prevents roots from circling the bottom of the container by allowing air to circulate from below. Our Living Soil Fabric Pots & Beds also encourage soil to dry from the top down, mimicking the way soil dries in nature.
Grassroots are committed to making high quality products, their Living Soil Pots are one of a kind, and the market leader in the USA for growers using living soil.
- BPA-free, waterproof MoistureLock™ liner with incredible benefits.
- Drainage and aeration strip at the bottom.
- USA-made tan coloured fabric for healthy soil and roots.
- Bottom seam sewn on the outside with marine-bonded thread to prevent decay.
- High-quality triple hem on top for added strength.
- Sewn in Northern California with blood, sweat, AND tears. (just kidding)

FAQ
What are Grassroots Living Soil Pots?
Grassroots Living Soil Pots are high-performance fabric pots designed specifically for living soil systems. They feature MoistureLock technology to improve water retention and soil microbial activity, ensuring even moisture throughout the soil and reducing the wet-dry cycle.
How does the MoistureLock technology work?
MoistureLock is a strip of BPA-free waterproof fabric sewn inside the container. It directs water downward, preventing dry pockets and promoting even moisture. This helps soil microbial communities thrive by simulating natural soil drying patterns.
What are the benefits of using Grassroots Living Soil Pots?
These pots improve soil microbial activity, reduce water usage, maintain even soil moisture, and prevent root circling. They are also reusable and made from super-durable, high-quality fabric in the USA.
Are these pots suitable for indoor and outdoor growing?
Yes, Grassroots Living Soil Pots are versatile and can be used for both indoor and outdoor growing. They are ideal for no-till container growing and help maintain lower humidity indoors by reducing water evaporation.
How do I use Grassroots Living Soil Pots?
Simply fill the pots with living soil (not right to the top; leave at least 5 cm for easier irrigation and top dressing) and place them onto a catchment tray if necessary. No additional framework is required, even for larger pots, making them a cost-effective solution for setting up growing beds.
Can these pots be reused?
Yes, Grassroots Living Soil Pots are highly durable and can be reused many times. Their robust construction ensures longevity and consistent performance across multiple growing cycles.
How do these pots compare to regular fabric pots?
Unlike regular fabric pots that dry quickly from the sides and bottom, Grassroots Living Soil Pots with MoistureLock™ technology prevent uneven drying. This maintains a healthier environment for soil microbes and supports better plant growth.
Do these pots help in reducing water usage?
Yes, the MoistureLock liner reduces the surface area for water evaporation, leading to less water usage. This is particularly beneficial for indoor growers looking to maintain lower humidity levels.
What sizes are available for Grassroots Living Soil Pots?
Grassroots Living Soil Pots are available in seven sizes: 11 litres (3 US gallons), 19 litres (5 US gallons), 26 litres (7 US gallons), 38 litres (10 US gallons), 56 litres (15 US gallons), 76 litres (20 US gallons), and 115 litres (30 US gallons). Choose the size that best fits your growing space and needs
Can I use these pots for hydroponic growing?
While Grassroots Living Soil Pots are optimised for living soil systems, they are not designed for traditional hydroponic setups that require frequent watering and quick drying. They are best used with organic, microbial-rich soils that benefit from consistent moisture levels.
Where are these pots made?
Grassroots Living Soil Pots are proudly made in the USA, specifically in Northern California, using high-quality materials to ensure durability and performance.
