If you’re looking for the perfect balance between space-saving and high performance, 80-gallon grow bags hit the sweet spot. They offer ample room for root development, strong plant growth, and heavy harvests—without taking up as much space as larger 100- or 200-gallon options.

At 247Garden, our 80-Gallon Aeration Fabric Pots are designed with optimal drainage and airflow in mind. They’re ideal for growers who want to cultivate strong, high-yielding plants in a contained, high-capacity environment.

Soil Capacity and Dimensions

Each 80-gallon grow bag holds about 10.7 cubic feet of soil, giving your plants plenty of room for root expansion, moisture retention, and nutrient uptake. That translates into a healthy growing environment for a wide variety of crops.

What Grows Best in an 80-Gallon Grow Bag?

1. Tomatoes (Indeterminate Varieties)

You can comfortably grow 3 to 4 tomato plants in an 80-gallon bag with proper spacing and pruning. The deep soil profile promotes strong root systems, while the aeration of the fabric pot supports vigorous above-ground growth and fruit development.

2. Potatoes

An 80-gallon grow bag can hold 10 to 12 seed potatoes, which can yield an abundant harvest at the end of the season. Layer your soil and plant in stages to maximize growth potential.

3. Peppers and Eggplants

You can grow 6 to 8 pepper plants or 4 to 6 eggplants in one 80-gallon bag. These crops benefit from the balanced moisture control and consistent soil temperature fabric pots provide.

4. Squash and Zucchini

For sprawling vegetables like summer squash or zucchini, 80 gallons offers enough room to support 2 to 3 large plants with robust fruit production and healthy leaf canopy development.

5. Corn

While corn is traditionally grown in the ground, a large bag like this can accommodate 10 to 12 stalks, making it a great option for urban gardeners or anyone limited on in-ground space.

6. Cannabis (Where Legal)

An 80-gallon grow bag is well-suited for 1 large cannabis plant or 2 medium-sized plants. The deep soil volume helps support vigorous growth, dense flowering, and strong root systems.

7. Herb Clusters or Companion Gardens

Use one 80-gallon grow bag as a compact garden for mixed herbs and leafy greens—for example, basil, parsley, cilantro, lettuce, and chard. Or combine crops that grow well together, like tomatoes, onions, and carrots.
