GeoPot Self-Supporting with Handles - Black (pack of 10)

When GeoPot Grow Bags With Handles Black Earn the Extra Cost

Handles change one thing and it is the thing that decides whether a pot gets moved or stays where it landed. The straps are stitched into the sidewall seam, so the load path runs through the quad-stitched join rather than through the fabric face. That is why they hold a wet root ball instead of tearing out of the wall. Construction is nonwoven polypropylene and bonded polyester thread, on a square base with a self-supporting rim. Fifteen sizes run from 1 through 200 gallons, ten pots to a pack. Soil volume covers the range, with a 10 gal pot at 1.40 cubic feet and a 65 gal at 8.38 cubic feet. Per cubic yard of media that is 19 against a little over three. Handle fitment follows GeoPot's own range. Handles on black fabric come only up to the 65 gal size. Above the 65 gal the pot is positioned empty rather than carried. Handles on a 150 gal pot are decorative at best, since nobody lifts that volume of wet media by hand.

Where Fabric Pot Carry Straps Actually Get Used

Fabric pot carry straps matter most in two places, and neither of them is the grow room floor. The first is the transplant bench, where a pot gets lifted off a cart and set into a tray without a second person. The second is end of crop, when a spent root ball leaves the building held together by nothing but the fabric. Grab both straps and lift from the base at the same time rather than hanging the whole weight off the stitching. The straps are a positioning aid, not a crane. Growers running rolling benches use them to slide pots rather than carry them, which is easier on both the strap and the back. In a greenhouse the black fabric absorbs sun, so pair these with shade on an exposed bench. Irrigation behaviour follows the fabric rather than the handles. The sidewall breathes and evaporates, so plan shorter and more frequent events than a plastic container would want. Straps also give you somewhere to tie a plant stake or a trellis line. Wash them between crops and check the strap stitching before reusing a pot that has carried a heavy load. A frayed strap is the first part of these to fail.

Key Features

• Straps stitched into the seam: The load runs through the quad-stitched join, which is why they hold wet weight.
• Same fabric as the rest of the line: Nonwoven polypropylene with bonded polyester thread, quad-stitched.
• Square base: Flat sides pack tight on a bench and the pot stays put when a strap is pulled.
• Self-supporting rim: The folded and stitched top keeps an empty pot upright while it is filled.
• Fifteen sizes: Propagation volumes through to bed scale, ten pots to a pack at every size.
• Volume per size: Cubic feet and pots per cubic yard are given, which is what a media delivery is calculated against.
• A second use for the straps: They give a tie-off point for a stake or a trellis line, which saves clipping to the rim.
