10.5" cubed Fabric Storage Cubes instead of fabric pots?

Hey all I was looking for a fabric pot locally on a whim for a friend and of course nothing around close I was wondering if anyone has grown using these.
They seem to be of just fabric and cardboard construction assuming you wash it down with natural soap would that be pretty safe?

These are a good 4.3 gallons should be good enough for placing a small clone out high desert but wondering if it will evap cool off as well as a smart pot.

Thanks!

Have you put water in one to see if the drainage is sufficient? That's the only concern I would have.

If you can get your hands on a milk crate and a burlap sack, you can make a great pot. I do this and it works wonders.

Here is a picture of 2 pots I improvised this year. They work great!

That hole looks like it might invite the kind of "pests" I wouldn't want in my garden... Just sayin...

Awesome suggestions thanks i never thought about using milk crates I had the idea to use a burlap sack but didn't feel like doing sewing.

No But theres just a cardboard cutout on the bottom for stability you can remove and then it's just a thin layer of fabric.

I made a comment on those in another thread. I like the farmer engineering of it. A milk crate is what - about 6 gallons?

It is an inviting hole

I would be afraid of them breaking down after the first season, once you add rain and uv rays its a flip of a coin. You can buy cheap ones on Amazon.. I get my smartpots there.
