Jedi Messiah Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) hey guys, anyone making their own fabric pots? got a 10m x 1m roll of weed guard, want to try and get as many pots out of it as i can, approximately 20l per pot, and I want to try and get at least 6, but aiming for 9. anyone did this? what measurements did you use? or if anyone has the measurements of a store bought 20l pot that would be great too was thinking about cutting it in half, so it's .5m and then making a pot that's around 400cm tall and quite wide, just not sure if the integrity will be good. it's 80gsm fabric, btw. any input is appreciated, need to have them ready soon.

PsyCLown Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 30cm for the base and 30cm tall gives you around 22L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same fabric that FF uses for their bags I found a few places, but not sure it is the exact same material. Damax.co.za have bidim (I believe this is what they use for the bags) Ppplastics.co.za also have I believe. I have not purchased any though.

This is the stuff... https://ppplastics.co.za/product/bidim-non-woven-geotextiles These are long ass rolls though! 75m-150m! I do remember now that someone mentioned that you can only get this stuff in a huge quantity not really viable for home DIY use. Unless we organise a collective purchase on the forum and split it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissMayhem Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 If anyone is interested, starting off with a 1m x 0.5m piece of fabric, seam allowance included, you end up with a 15 to 17 litre pot. Bit hard to measure the fabric without a medium. Will provide a more accurate volume once filled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
