how do you think these do here? they come in giant sizes, i was thinking it might be good since the website says the fabric sort of acts as evap cooling for the soil instead of trapping the heat in like reg pots

but, i wounder if they took into consideration the brutal phoenix 120+ summer days?

what do you guys think?

I found these:

http://www.horticulturesource.com/rootmaker-root-trapper-ii-30-gallon-p9791/?osCsid=88f5e008a1919984248ab45fdff4d9b6

looks like they might be a bit better than the original smartpots, these look thicker and the white color reflects away heat better

but still, growing in fabric here is scary to me..

thoughts?

Probably they work good, but I'd guess you'd have to water a lot more.

I use smart pots. Indoors they work great. Outdoors...they suck.
