im interested in smart pots, or something similar.

i came across oregon breathers, seem similar, on ebay, but they cost a fortune sent from the USA : http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Black-red-Handles-5-gal-Oregon-Breather-grow-bag-pots-smart-growing-/230677007988?pt=Planters_Pots&hash=item35b56bce74

there is a DIY smart pots post some where, shows you what material to make them out of and the patterns.. you just need to sew them together.. there are some other DIY versions with 5 gallon buckets. they drill holes all around the bucket like swiss cheese and use a screen liner on the inside of the bucket to keep the dirt in.

Those do look like very good quality fabric pots, however with the shipping costs you would be better off just buying Smart pots or even better are Aero Pots as they are thicker and have handles.

i just gave up.
i can get them from the USA : http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Black-red...item35b56bce74
and i can get them from Europe : http://www.sanniesshop.com/root-pouch.html or http://www.nirvanashop.com/en/853-root-pouch-5-pack.html
and i thought about convincing my local hydro shop to buy a bulk load from : http://www.rocketpot.com.au/
but i just decided to let it go for now
