Years growing with Root Pouch

A Partnership from the Beginning.

Designed in partnership with technicians at JFS, our Grey fabric has its beginnings in the formation of their legendary
in-ground growing program.

Better root balls, higher survival rates.

By switching their slotted plastic containers to Root Pouches, JFS has seen a massive improvement in their water bill (over 50%), while still keeping all the benefits of root pruning.

Getting you results, in and above ground.

Reducing blow over, retaining moisture, and preventing root circling, Root Pouch is proud to be a part of J. Frank Schmidt’s quality growing program.

Hear it from the grower.

“Root Pouch containers retain moisture more readily than slot-style containers while offering the same advantages of root pruning and prevention of circling roots. These brown bags are an above-ground version of the Root Pouch bags that we use in our fields to great success. Distinctive for their ground-hugging shape that reduces toppling over in the wind, they feature stout fabric handles making them easy to manage in the nursery, garden center, or in the fields at planting time.”
