15-gallons per bag
I own these bags and loved the first set I purchased here on Amazon, that I had to purchase more. Someone asked a question re: how many gallons these are. I estimated them to be between 10-15 gallons. After taking photos and comparing to other pots, I believe these are more 15 gallons in size. Please view the photos I am posting so any curious minds may discern for themselves. The first photo is the bag in question next to a 7 gallon, black fabric grow bag while the second photo is next to a black, hard plastic 15 gallon nursery pot that had a tree in it. Hope this helps anyone wondering about the size of each bag.

French fries, mashed potatoes, potato chips, baked potatoes...
I have only used one of these for potatoes so far and WOW! They are growing like crazy.I had started them off in another pot before I ordered the bags, but they are doing great. Sometimes it seems like they’ve grown an inch overnight.This is my first time growing so I can’t wait to see the results!Btw, I used a combination of potting soil, garden soil, and compost. I would probably stick to potting soil and compost if I were to do it again.*Edit - I added another pic from a couple of weeks later. They are now almost as tall as my 6-year-old son. Can’t wait to see what comes of it when it’s time to harvest.Update: Harvested early when the plant started to die after an aphid infestation (have since learned to use organic insecticidal soap on those buggers - works great.)Had a decent little harvest of potatoes that were delicious.Planted again, this time with more knowledge/experience. Used putting soil and Black Kow compost, and ONLY fed with a high-nitrogen plant food in the very beginning. Using this later in the growing season will result in lots of leaves, less potatoes!This time I am getting less leaves but it’s healthy (and no aphids) so hoping to get a bigger harvest this time! Will update with results.

Harvest results: Shallower containers had better potato harvest than these.
I bought this and put golden yukon potatoes in one planter and blue adirondack potatoes in the other planter. I also planted both varieties in other containers in my garden: an 8in deep box garden and some 25 gallon cloth containers that were about 15.5 in deep. Same spacing. Same ph. Same watering.After harvest, I found far more potatoes--larger ones too--in the wider, but shallower potato beds than I did in these tall, skinny sacks for both potato varieties.I'm pretty sure the harvest difference is because these are so tricky to water given they don't drain well and they're so tall. My plants were basically either soaked or bone dry when I checked. While this could be managed with more careful watering, I'm a casual gardener--as I expect most people who get these would be--and don't have the time available for that.So, while these are nifty in theory, I probably won't use them again for potatoes unless I just run out of space in the other beds.

Love these bags! Create space in your garden bed by using these and keep potatoes always from bad companion plants!
I love these bags. They are super sturdy and so far my potatoes are doing awesome. My son likes to check in on the flap. I love them because there are several plants in my garden that aren't good companions with potatoes. These bags solve that problem and gives me extra space in my beds. You can see the bags with my potatoes in the front of the garden there.

Great product. Easy to use
This was our first time planting potatoes and I have to say that the directions that came with this product were great. We followed the steps and have already harvested one bag and had quite a few potatoes from it. Very easy to use. The picture is what I picked for one meal I did get about 4 more harvests from the bag. Can't wait untilThe next bag is ready

Great Butt Flap
Our planter bags came a couple weeks ago but it was still too cold to plant. I finally planted my potatoes last weekend. They look like they will work well, the bags are made of a good strong fabric. The bags themselves are smaller which i was OK with, hopefully they will still supply me with bountiful potatoes, the flap was a great feature to my husband who refers to it as a butt flap with a giggle every time. All in all for the price seems like a great purchase. I did place 2 plastic trays in the bottom to allow it to still drain without the dirt coming out of the grommets.

Good size. Practical, durable and economical. Will buy again.
The size is just right for planting potatoes or those root plants that require deeper space.The sewing looks alright, but seems durable. I had been moving around the bag with soil filled without breaking off anything.There are three holes in right size in the bottom for draining. When I was moving around the bag with soil, the soil doesn't fall or leak!Dark green color, easy to blend in to patio or yard.Love it. Will buy again when I need more.

buying more of these!!
not only are these affordable and exactly what's shown, but they are easy to move, and the window feature makes growing potatoes so much easier. the one negative thing is that unless they are set on soil, they do not drain very well, but that's solved by putting them on a stand with drainage. I personally love them and will be buying more!
