420SA Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Does anyone know where you can find geotextile material like they use to make fabric pots? The method of making them is relatively easy, finding the right material is proving difficult. I got some felt from a local material wholesaler and seems alright for the job, it just isn't as stiff and durable as the material on my store bought fabric pots.

If they can hold up and are UV resistant then they'll do the job. I'm looking at the geotextile as that what seems to be commonly used.

Justin Hemp Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Referring to non woven polypropylene fabric which is used for pots, not to sure if that's also the geo fabric Sent from my ALE-L02 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hemp Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 So I've been a little intrigued with regards to this Geotextile and it seems to be just a fancy name for the polypropylene fabric I was referring to. Or am I mistaken? Sent from my ALE-L02 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 I don't think so. I think the one we should be looking for is probably the heat bonded one. Google "geotextile" and then look under the images tab, then also google "fabric pots" and look under the images tab. The majority of the fabric pots use that specific type. Here's geotextile Here's a few examples of different fabric pots Can you see the similarity in material used? I think the non woven poly is the fabric they use for re-usable shopping bags. Here's non woven polypropylene . Seems like it would work too but the majority seem to use the material above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 This guy uses a material called "eco felt". Also looks similar to geotextile. https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/diy-fabric-grow-pots-cannabags-made-from-eco-felt.204644/ As mentioned I bought felt the other day. The light permeability is minimal which is good but the material is just a bit stretchy, I dont think it'll tear but I wouldve like something a little more stiff Heres a pic of it, I might just stick with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroPrune Planters A few stores sell them now. Organics matter near me sells the freedom pots too. They're quite pricey so I wanna make my own in hope that it'll save me a bit of cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
