Are there fabric pots designed for use in hydroponic nutrient film systems?
Fabric pots are a popular choice for traditional soil-based gardening, but can they be used in hydroponic nutrient film technique (NFT) systems? While fabric pots excel in providing excellent aeration and preventing root circling, they are not typically designed for NFT hydroponics. Nutrient film systems rely on a continuous flow of nutrient-rich water over bare roots, which fabric pots may disrupt due to their porous nature. However, some growers adapt fabric pots for hybrid systems by combining them with drip irrigation or other hydroponic methods. For pure NFT setups, specialized channels or gutters are more effective. If you're exploring hydroponics, consider the system's requirements before choosing fabric pots.
