Can I use this fabric to line a raised garden planter bed, or a patio vegetable planter to prevent the soil from leaking out? Will the water pool? Or will it siphon through?

The fabric is made so that water will drain and only the finest of soil could probably leak through.It is not a solid barrier and is made to breath.

Water will not pool; it will go through the fabric. Our raised beds are bordered with large rocks and the fabric is tucked into the rocks so the soil does not leak out.

It will soak through. I used it in walkways between raised beds in my garden, and it doesn't pool. I believe it will do what you're needing.

That would not be a good use of it--it is very sturdy but a heavy rain would get through it---it's nylon, not canvas. Water could get in through the bottom/base as well if the ground is wet.

Yes. I weave mine all through my garden and it works well. Just don't leave it on for more than a half an hour. you can overwater if you leave it on too long.

The bottom of the planter is solid, but about an inch up on the sides are slits in the plastic. If you overfill, the water will flow out. As for the reservoir, I believe you can fill it up to the hole where the watering can would be inserted....see the top two holes above the ribbed area....that is where you fill.

I used mighty putty to bond plastic to plastic and plastic to metal to stop the leak that the plumber left for me. It is still holding and no longer leaking. I never used it on fabric or silicone

I put landscaping fabric to prevent any weeds, but heavy duty fabric or even a tarp would probably keep your soils from mixing. The kit fits together nicely so you would have a flat structure to attach treated boards if you'd prefer.

Probably. I have used it by moving horizontally to take out deep wrinkles. But I haven't used it the way you are asking about--try it on a test fabric first. Just make sure when you do it, that you have adequate water in the reservior. I have not had any leaking problems with this product, even when laid down on a counter.

I use this as the "wicking" element to self watering buckets using potting mix and it works very well. Straight dirt . . . I'm not sure as dirt usually is quite soluble. Garden soil mixed with coir might do good.

Hollow wall with holes in bottom so if the hollow wall is filled with water the planter will get the water from the hollow walls, so probably yes.

I installed this in my garden and not over concrete or tile. I have no problem since the water drains into the soil. I don't believe this is meant to be used over any type of pavement if one is concerned about water leakage. This has been the best thing I purchased for the garden. I made a herb garden and we enjoy it very much and so do our neighbors who help themselves to fresh organic basil. I covered the base with garden fabric to prevent weed growth.

I needed to stake it down to start with but then have been able to remove the stakes after it has been there a while (I needed the stakes to put down more hose!!) I used the U shape stake for putting down landscaping fabric - but in my very loose garden soil longer stake would have been easier but they did the job with a little frustration - but the hose is working GREAT so far, I put them 12 inches appear to get full coverage for my raised garden beds.

You wouldn't be able to run it through the sand, but you can hover it above the sand to suck up any debris that is on the surface of the sand. It's very difficult to avoid sucking up sand. You can pinch the line if you notice that it is taking in sand so that it falls back down. It should be fine to use with plants as long as you avoid sucking in the plants.

This is intended to mix into you garden soil. However, I DID use it in containers [because the price was so good] but I mixed it half and half with potting soil and that has worked nicely.

The vertical planter in the picture is for outdoor use. When I hung the planter indoors filled with soil and fresh herbs, and water, the planter became wet and leaked water down the walls. If you want an indoor planter, check out the Living Walls planter at - WoollyPocket.com‎

As this sits on the ground if you block the bottom you won't have drainage and plants can drown I the water. You may need a table top planter, they are great because you don't have to bend over to work on the plants

Not sure in both directions, but definitely in the direction I planted it. The fabric worked really well and is pretty thick for weed suppression and seems long lasting. I was actually impressed with how much water actually went through.

Would that mean only water/nutrients? If so then the water would leak out of the lower levels. Each "planter" has a hole in the side at the bottom and then any excess from on top leaks into the next level.
