500 gsm Growbags, 1000gsm growbag, HDPE bag, earthen pot, plastic pot , what is the difference ? Which container is the best ?
- Plastic Pot : Not ECO FRIENDLY, CANNOT BE RECYCLED and ends up in the landfills. Not Porous, Brittle after exposure to sun.
- HDPE bags: These bags are not recyclable, not porous and are already banned in some states.
- Earthen Pots: Material is Porous and also keeps the plant cool as water slowly evaporates through the pot. The earthen pots are optimal but have limitations : they crack easily, difficult to handle/carry , heavy weight.
- Fabric growbags : All fabric pots are ‘breathable’… but have you wondered …how much air does the soil/roots actually need? How much AIR do the plant/tree roots (planted directly in earth) get under the ground ?
- If the grow bag is made of Thin Material ( 500 GSM and below), then there is too much aeration and the soil dries up quickly! This is bad for plant growth.
Through our Research and Trials we have seen that our 1000 GSM Thick Material mimics the earthen pot as much as possible. Thick grow bag material allows limited aeration, also does not let water drain out from the sides. This preserves the nutrients in the soil and excellent growth is observed in the plants.

In Thinner grow bags, Soil dries up quickly in summer. That is why we make grow bags with double thickness 1000 GSM, our thick material helps the soil retain moisture for longer periods which helps the plant survive the intense summer heat on the terrace.
Yes, In Thinner grow bags, the water drains out from the sides carrying away the nutrients of the soil. So one needs to add fertilisers more often.
Our growbag material allows the soil to soak the water, so water won’t escape while the plant’s roots are still absorbing it and the nutrients do not drain out. Only if the water is in excess, it drains out from the bottom. So you need not fertilise as often.
1 kg of Planter = 1 kg of textile and plastic waste used.

We do not add chemical dyes to the material to make it green, brown or red in color, threads of various random shades in our growbags are proof that it is recycled.
Today we are the only manufacturers of growbags from this recycled material and we are striving to create an awareness about it. The genuine feedback by word of mouth of our buyers helps us keep up the good work

Stiching a 1000 gsm growbag requires special machine settings along with A LOT MORE effort, time and skill by the tailor. Karigars need to be trained for this specially and we are grateful to our workers for their dedicated hard work.
It is a lot easier and quicker and therefore cheaper for sellers to stitch thinner growbags in larger quantities. This is the reason thinner growbags are available online in large quantities whereas 1000 gsm are not.
