Most gardeners know Smart Pot for tomatoes, peppers, herbs, blueberries, and patio gardens. But once you get into 100 gallon, 200 gallon, 300 gallon, and all the way up to 1,000 gallon Smart Pots, you are no longer just planting in a container.
You are building a garden.

A Raised Bed Garden, Without the Building
Traditional raised beds can be great, but they also come with a lot of work. You have to buy lumber or metal panels, haul everything home, measure, cut, drill, screw, level, and hope it all holds together once the soil goes in.
A large Smart Pot keeps things simple.
Just unfold it, place it where you want your garden, fill it with quality soil, and start planting.
No tools. No building. No heavy frame. No rusting metal. No rotting wood. Just a proven fabric growing container that gives you the convenience of raised bed gardening with the horticultural benefits Smart Pot is known for.
Why Large Smart Pots Work So Well as Raised Beds
Smart Pots are round in shape, but their large size gives you the room to plant like you would in a raised bed. A 100 gallon Smart Pot can hold a serious amount of soil. A 400 gallon Smart Pot gives you enough room for a full companion planting setup. A 1,000 gallon Smart Pot can turn an open patch of yard, driveway, greenhouse, or community space into a productive growing area.
More soil means better moisture retention, more room for roots, and more flexibility with what you grow. It also makes watering and fertilizing easier because your garden is contained in one large growing space. Instead of feeding a whole in-ground row, you are feeding the soil your plants are actively growing in.
How Much Soil Do Large Smart Pots Hold?
Here is a quick look at the approximate soil volume in some of our larger Smart Pot sizes.
| Smart Pot Size | Approx. Soil Volume | Approx. Cubic Yards | Raised Bed Comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 gallon | 13.4 cu. ft. | 0.5 yd. | About a 4 ft x 4 ft bed filled 10 inches deep |
| 200 gallon | 27.7 cu. ft. | 1.0 yd. | About a 4 ft x 8 ft bed filled 10 inches deep |
| 300 gallon | 40.1 cu. ft. | 1.5 yd. | More soil than a 4 ft x 8 ft bed filled 12 inches deep |
| 400 gallon | 53.5 cu. ft. | 2.0 yd. | About a 4 ft x 8 ft bed filled 20 inches deep |
| 500 gallon | 66.8 cu. ft. | 2.5 yd. | More soil than a 4 ft x 8 ft bed filled 24 inches deep |
| 1,000 gallon | 134.4 cu. ft. | 5.0 yd. | Over two 4 ft x 8 ft beds filled 24 inches deep |
So when we say large Smart Pots can work as raised bed gardens, we mean it. These are not small grow bags trying to act bigger than they are. These are serious growing containers with real soil volume.
What Can You Grow in a Large Smart Pot?
A 100 gallon Smart Pot is great for gardeners who want to grow a larger mix of vegetables in one place. Think tomatoes, peppers, basil, marigolds, lettuce, onions, carrots, or strawberries all growing together in one Smart Pot Garden.
A 200 to 400 gallon Smart Pot gives you enough room for bigger planting ideas. You can grow a salsa garden with tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, and onions. You can plant a pollinator garden full of flowers and herbs. You can try companion planting with corn, beans, squash, marigolds, basil, or dill. You can even build out a compact vegetable garden without needing to tear up your yard.
A 500 to 1,000 gallon Smart Pot is for gardeners who want to go big. These larger sizes are great for community gardens, schools, farms, nurseries, backyard gardeners with serious growing goals, or anyone who wants a large raised bed style garden without having to build one.
The Smart Pot Difference
A wooden or metal raised bed can hold soil, but it cannot do what Smart Pot fabric does for roots.
Smart Pot fabric allows air to move through the container wall. When roots reach the side of the Smart Pot, they are air pruned instead of circling around the container. This helps create a healthier, more fibrous root system inside the soil.
That matters because healthier roots make it easier for plants to take up water and nutrients. Better roots lead to better plants.
Smart Pot fabric also helps with drainage and aeration. Instead of holding too much water at the bottom like many hard sided containers, Smart Pots allow excess water to drain while still keeping the soil active and oxygenated.
That is one of the reasons gardeners and professional growers have trusted Smart Pot since 1984.
Lighter, Longer Lasting, and Easier to Store
Large raised beds are hard to move once they are built. Wood breaks down. Metal can bend, dent, or rust. And once a raised bed is assembled, it is usually there to stay.
Smart Pots are different.
They are lightweight before filling, easy to place, and simple to store when not in use. At the end of the season, you can empty them, clean them, let them dry, and fold them down for storage. They are made to be used again and again.
For gardeners who want flexibility, that is a big deal.
