## Description

High Caliper Smart Pot Tan 12inx9.5in 5gal The 12 inch x 9.5 inch Tan Smart Pot is a soft-sided aeration container that air root prunes your plants. This tan-colored version of the soft growing containers retain even less heat, keeping the root zone cool on hot days. Air root pruning is a key component to a healthy fibrous root ball. Unlike plastic containers, roots do not circle. Instead, air root pruning creates a more fibrous root structure with more root tips. More roots means quicker growth. No circling roots mean better growth.

Review: Love the tan smart pots - These have been my go-to for large cloth pots. I've put everything in these, from vetables, citrus plants and running bamboo. These pots are VERY durable and have lasted for many years out in the elements. I really like the option for the tan color. This helps reduce how hot they get in the beating sun. The plants seem to thrive in them, too. I've bought as large as 200 gl, to as small as 20gl. All the sizes have been well constructed and look great in the yard. Highly recommend!
Review: Great Pots of Size - Why on earth would you need 45 gallon pots? To grow dwarf crepe myrtles!! I ordered two of these huge pots for my trees. After looking at them, they would make great gardens, too. You could plant several squash plants, along with some cucumbers and maybe a tomato plant or two. I placed some flower seeds around one crepe myrtle and they are growing very quickly, too. These pots do take a lot of soil. I use Miracle Grow Garden Soil, and each bag is .75 cubic feet of soil. I placed 7 bags in each pot but they could have held one or two more bags easily. The good thing about these pots is that they will conform to the amount of soil you use. Use less, and just have a deeper rim around it. You could fold it over, I guess. They look nice, too. AND, if you were to buy a rigid pot or planter this size, you would have to pay big bucks!! These are very reasonable. I highly recommend these pots if you need a lot of soil for a tree or small garden.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
*by E***M on March 31, 2014*

We put 2 bags of sand (100lbs) and 3 bags of 1.5 cu feet of soil into all 30g pots - except the one we bought for potatoes. That gave us 8 inches of growing depth which is more than plenty for most vegetables and flowers. Everything we've planted into them (potatoes, tomatoes (10g), peppers (10g), peas (30g), carrots (30g) and corn (30g is growing like gangbusters - so much better than last year planting in our stone beds. Plus, no weeds and the dogs don't seem as attracted to trampling them. I would describe the material as being an extra strong felt-like fabric. Once you get the first couple of inches of planting medium in them and pushed to the edges, the sides stand up pretty well on their own. Update 4/21/15: We are still using these same pots which have held up really well in the Arizona sun. Still love them! I especially love that I can roll down the sides for my potatoes, so they get lots of sun when starting out and adding soil while they grow is a breeze. They are awesome. I don't know how they work, but they surely do. Gardening is fun again, and not a full time weed/pest-eliminating job. Planning to buy a few more since finally it seems I can handle a full yard of backyard crops again :)
