question on smart pot prices

would 31.25 be a good price for 5, 5galsmart pots with handles with free shipping?

any opinions?

I would never pay for a 5 gallon pickle bucket, so that seems really high to me. Almost any business will give them to you or charge much less than that.

they are not 5 gal pails( got plenty of those ) smart pots are fabric pots. they help aerate your soil and cause your root system to air prune itself. from their site:The Smart Pot is an aeration container. It has a unique ability to air-prune and enhance a plant’s root structure. A highly branched, fibrous root structure is the key to growing a better plant – with more flowers and fruits, and more resistance to insects and diseases.

and only 1 opinion LOL

I don't want to hi jack your thread but to answer your question, the price is fair. I've seen em cheaper but they get you in high shipping...

Let me ask, do you think smart pots would do well in ebb and flow?

seems the average prices now adays, airpots are the same they are cheap as hell to make but sadly the companies milk the money out of it, seemingly all pots are pretty expensive online, 10L normal pots are pretty expensive too, i went into my local gardening and DIY shop and found normal 10L black pots that are actually better they are soft kind of so they dont crack or split, 4 for £2, online and in hydro shops they are at least £1 each

I've heard that they do. but I'm a dirt farmer so no first hand exp. found a thread at ICmag on it https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=152015

yeah seen a DIY vid on how to make your own pots, but initial investment is more than I can do. Besides I might have a green thumb, But they are all thumbs. LOL
