making pots

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.

Has anyone been able to find a source of geotextile? 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.

Thanks bud. 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
