That's what, when I was a newbie. I called, overwatering...when there was a water table at the bottom of my fabric pots!In field soil, there's this thing called the water table..
Thank you I have never studied farming at that level to consider the saturated layers. I love this site, who expected to learn this stuff...

One of the biggest problems I see people having with fabric pots is that they place them on a non-porous flat surface. How are they supposed to drain like that?

Not the repotting?
My roots grow through the pots without an issue if placed in, on the ground or a larger pot. Why all the tearing out of the smaller bag?

Yeah, I guess that's fine if you don't want to reuse your pots. I have some plastic pots that I've used for over 10-years though.

I know it. My plastic pots grow plant fine.
The roots will grow through the fabric without an issue though. Mine were basically velcro'd to the lawn last year.

Want mine? I have spent way to much on them and now will not be using them any longer they dry out my organic soil too quickly.

Same here. I have a huge box of them that I was planning on using but they dry out my organic soil too fast too. I spent over $100 on them from 247 garden, lol. It is really dry here. They might work great in a more humid environment.

Even when I have my ink birds and humidifiers going it still drys them out. I'm done with them just going back to traditional pots for small stuff, but I mainly grow in SIPS now.

I don’t know man.
Never had a problem with fabric pots inside.
They don’t dry out on me any faster than plastic used to.
I use a wire shelf to keep them off the floor.
They’re $3 around here so if I can’t clean one or two sufficiently they go in the trash.
And my plants never get rootbound.
Work great for me.
