A specialty grow bag that solves the potato problem: a Velcro side flap lets you reach in and pull new potatoes without dumping the whole bag, so the rest keep growing. The 10 gal depth suits potatoes, carrots and onions, and the six-pack is cheap enough to stagger plantings. The flap is a minor spill risk and the fabric dries fast, but for root crops on a patio it's a genuinely useful design.
Pros
- Velcro side flap lets you harvest potatoes from the bottom without tipping the whole bag
- 10 gal depth gives root crops room to bulk up, and fabric keeps soil aerated
- Six-pack is cheap enough to stagger plantings for a rolling harvest
Cons
- The flap is a potential leak/spill point and can let soil trickle out if overfilled
- Nonwoven fabric dries quickly, so potatoes need consistent watering to size up
- Purpose-built for root crops; overkill for herbs or shallow greens

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the access flap for?
- Harvesting without tipping the bag. A Velcro side flap lets you reach in and take potatoes from the bottom while the plant keeps growing, which is the whole reason to buy a potato-specific bag.
- Is 10 gallons enough for potatoes?
- Yes — that depth gives root crops room to bulk up, and the fabric keeps soil aerated. It suits potatoes, taro, carrots, onions and beets rather than shallow greens or herbs.
- What are the downsides of the flap design?
- It is a potential leak point. Overfill the bag and soil trickles out around the flap. Fabric also dries quickly, so potatoes need consistent watering to size up properly.
