Abstract: The present disclosure is related to improved potting vessels, and more specifically to an improved multi-functional textile vessel. The vessels disclosed include novel textiles, including composites of natural and synthetic materials, and microencapsulated growth aid. In a preferred embodiment, Aloe Vera is microencapsulated in a textile vessel to enhance plant growth and yield. The disclosed vessels further provided novel mixing systems and on-board tie-down systems that enhance the overall efficiency of planting processes.
