The patented Smart Pot is a soft-sided, fabric aeration container that has the rigidity to hold its shape. It is foldable and made with a UV stabilizer. It will last from 3 to 5 years, depending on location.

Smart Pots let the roots grow out to the side of the pot where they come in contact with air. The root tips then dry out and cause the plant to create more roots laterally, filling the container with more roots. Even though the Smart Pot is completely porous, it can be used with any medium without worrying about particles leaching out.

The aeration also releases heat, up to 30 degrees more than traditional plastic. With a cooler container, roots will grow even in hotter temperatures as well as keeping microorganism life alive and working.

  • Dimensions: 12" W x 9.5" H
  • Capacity: 5 gal. (0.66 cu.ft. volume)

The Smart Pot 5-Gallon is a revolutionary gardening container designed to foster optimal plant growth and health. As a versatile and eco-friendly alternative to traditional pots, this product has gained popularity among gardeners seeking improved aeration, root development, and overall plant vitality. In this summary, we will explore the features and uses of the Smart Pot 5-Gallon, shedding light on how it can enhance your gardening experience.

Key Features:

  1. Breathable Fabric: The Smart Pot 5-Gallon is constructed from a unique, breathable fabric material. This fabric promotes air pruning, a process where plant roots naturally stop growing when they reach the container's wall and are exposed to air. Air-pruned roots develop a more robust, fibrous structure that enhances nutrient absorption and water uptake. This results in healthier, more productive plants.

  2. Excellent Aeration: Traditional plastic pots can often lead to overwatering and poor aeration, which can cause root rot and other issues. The breathable fabric of the Smart Pot 5-Gallon allows excess moisture to escape through the sides, preventing waterlogged soil and providing essential oxygen to the root zone. This aeration leads to healthier root systems and overall plant vigor.

  3. Temperature Regulation: The fabric material of the Smart Pot helps regulate the temperature of the soil. During hot weather, it prevents the soil from overheating by allowing excess heat to dissipate, while in cooler conditions, it offers some insulation to protect the roots from extreme cold. This temperature control ensures that your plants thrive year-round.

  4. Multiple Uses: The Smart Pot 5-Gallon is suitable for a wide range of plants, including vegetables, herbs, flowers, and trees. Its versatile size and design make it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor gardening projects. Whether you have a small balcony garden or a large backyard, these pots can accommodate various plant types and sizes.

  5. Reusable and Durable: One of the most appealing aspects of the Smart Pot 5-Gallon is its reusability and durability. Unlike disposable plastic pots, Smart Pots can last for multiple growing seasons. When the growing season is over, you can easily empty, clean, and store them for future use, reducing waste and saving money in the long run.

  6. Eco-Friendly Choice: Smart Pots are an eco-conscious gardening choice. They are made from BPA-free, lead-free, and phthalate-free materials, ensuring they are safe for both plants and the environment. Their long lifespan and reduced need for disposable plastic containers further contribute to sustainability.

Uses in Gardening:

  1. Vegetable Gardening: The Smart Pot 5-Gallon is excellent for growing a variety of vegetables, including tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and more. Its breathable fabric ensures that the roots receive ample oxygen, leading to healthy plants with robust yields.

  2. Herb Cultivation: Herb enthusiasts can benefit from the Smart Pot's efficient root development. Planting herbs like basil, mint, and rosemary in these pots allows for better flavor and aroma as the herbs thrive in well-aerated soil.

  3. Flower Beds: The Smart Pot 5-Gallon can be used to create beautiful flower displays both indoors and outdoors. Its breathable fabric prevents root congestion and promotes lush blooms.

  4. Fruit Trees and Shrubs: For those looking to grow fruit trees or shrubs in containers, the Smart Pot offers the space and aeration needed for healthy root systems and bountiful harvests.

The Smart Pot 5-Gallon is a game-changer in the world of gardening containers. Its breathable fabric, excellent aeration, temperature regulation, and eco-friendly design make it an invaluable tool for gardeners of all levels of expertise. Whether you're growing vegetables, herbs, flowers, or trees, this product can significantly enhance plant health and yield, leading to a more successful and enjoyable gardening experience. Invest in Smart Pots for healthier, happier plants and a more sustainable approach to gardening.

A beautifully crafted invitation to journal
Format: Paperback
Lilias Trotter Legacy’s latest book Beholdings is not so much a text as it is a beautifully crafted invitation. Inspired by the journals and sketches of Lilias Trotter (1853-1928—English missionary to Algeria, artist, writer, and journaler par excellence), biographer Miriam Rockness invites the reader to try their own hand at journaling, using Trotter as a model and guide. Rockness herself is no stranger to journaling, and her Preface to Beholdings enumerates the many benefits that await any reader who is willing to commit to the discipline for a period of time. In the short term, Rockness describes how journaling encourages one to focus, to pay attention, to take the time to behold the beauty in the world before one’s very eyes. Each page following the Preface includes a quote designed to stir the imagination, and an image from Trotter’s journals to illustrate what it means to behold an acorn, a flower petal, a sunrise in the Algerian desert. It is not just to see what is before one’s eyes, but to hold it in the mind’s eye and cherish it. As Simone Weil said, “Attention, taken to its highest degree, is the same thing as prayer. It presupposes faith and love.” It is this kind of attention that Rockness encourages the journaler to cultivate, and it is the kind of attention that Lilias Trotter so artfully illustrates. There is ample space on each page for the journaler, thus inspired, to record his or her observations, musings, sketches, or doodles. In the longer term, Rockness suggests that journaling helps cultivate a sense of proportion and perspective. She describes looking back with her husband over her journals from years before, reliving the moments that might otherwise have been forgotten, and allowing those glimpses in the rear view mirror to inform present day experience. Sometimes one finds that images seen in the rear view mirror really are smaller than they appeared at the time! In addition to being an incitement to journaling, Beholdings is a beautifully produced creation in its own right. Great thought has gone into the selection of the typeface, the texture and feel of the paper, the quality of the images reproduced. This makes Beholdings not only a delight to own, but also an exquisite gift to offer. My advice: buy one for yourself, and another for someone you love.

Be clear that it's a blank journal you create, with brief quotes and thumbnail art
Format: Paperback
If one is looking for a personal journal of empty lined pages ~ and a brief Lilias Trotter quote with a thumbnail-size photo of her art on each page then this is for you. I understood it was a book of her journalling with more viewable-size sketches.

When and where economics went wrong
Format: Paperback
This is one of those books that can provide an epiphany to the reader -- but not very many American readers have even heard of it, unfortunately. That could be due to it's being a book primarily about English economic history, with assumptions that the reader is familiar to some extent with things like the Poor Laws and Tory socialism. But I wasn't, and was still able to glean some great insights from the work. That could be because Polanyi is not afraid of repetition. :-) A key insight, and the one that could be summed up as the theme of the book, is Polanyi's realization that prior to about 1830, the market and the economy were considered part of society. That is, economic activity was something that people did along with everything else they did, like engage in social/familial relationships, religious rituals, etc. But with the 1830s came a paradigm shift: the advent of rational capitalism. Now, the market was considered an entity by itself, outside of society. This market entity was viewed as governed by universal laws. Like laws of physics, these market laws were independent of culture, independent of social group, independent of time period, and, in fact, independent of human behavior. While any observer of human nature would say that people often make decisions for emotional reasons -- and modern neurological research shows that virtually every decision we make is a combination of the rational and the emotional -- these market laws assumed only rational behavior on the part of economic actors. Though Polanyi doesn't mention it, it's now easy to see how Alfred Marshall could get carried away with creating a mathematical foundation for microeconomics and how Leon Walras could, reportedly, say that if something couldn't be studied mathematically, it wasn't worth studying. There's no current way to model emotions with math, and so the Ricardian prototype of an emotion-less economics continues into the modern economics of today. These universal market laws frees the market from any social constraints. A number of modern neo-classical economists assert that this makes economics purely amoral, i.e., without regard for any ethics. Therefore any attempts by the public, by politicians, or by workers to add ethics to the market is an interference with pure market workings, which, according to their interpretation of Adam Smith's "invisible hand", will produce optimal results if just left alone. But Smith never said that, and in fact rational capitalism, in elevating greed and selfishness to the status of goals -- see the Ayn Rand work "The Virtue Of Selfishness" -- is, IMO, not amoral at all, but rather is a morality of its own. Anyway, back to Polanyi's insights. Another key one is the concept of a "double movement" in 19th century England. Each move to create a purer market created an ad-hoc counter move. E.g., Ricardian free trade was faced with opposition from workers losing their jobs and local firms losing business Americans can easily think of another example: where the employment of children (eventually) led to laws restricting that employment, simply because human beings have too much of a sympathetic nature to sit still for children losing limbs in the dangerous factories and mines of the time. Polanyi notes that capitalists often blame these anti-capitalist laws on planned activity by socialist anti-market groups, but he says they're actually the result of the recognition by the general public that they don't want to live under a pure market system. Yet another good insight is Polanyi's recognition that market laws treat labor, land, and money as commodities. We can see that today, where neo-classical economists assert that the law of supply and demand should apply to workers as it applies to anything else in the economy. That is, if there's a surplus of workers in one area and a shortage in another, supply and demand dictates the flow of workers from the one area to the other. But a laid-off textile worker in South Carolina is not going to move to China for a job. That's my own example, but Polanyi offers his own from modern English history. The book isn't perfect. Polanyi does have a tendency to generalize, a common failing among authors, IMO. E.g., in discussing the rise of fascism in the 1930s, he's on very shaky ground when he starts talking about the US or about Russian policy intentions during that period. I gave The Great Transformation 5 stars because, even with its faults, the reader will be thinking about Polanyi's insights for some time to come. I am.

Not light reading but worth it
Format: Kindle
Much of this book was heavy reading for me, mainly due my not being familiar with the background development and history of various economic theory and associated laws over 500 or so years of British history. I did stick it out and am glad I did. There are many insights as to how we have arrived at today and the book is still relevant even though it was written in 1942. I found the last few chapters and the comments in Sources to offer the most explanations to fit modern times especially with regard to the rise of fascism. Thick but worth it.
