I've used the AirPots and I wanted to compared them to Smart Pots, what I normally use. I found that the Airpots didn't do as well as the SP. I think that its b/c the Smart pots allow the roots to grow out in any direction and be air pruned, but the Airpots have specific air holes that the roots will grow to. So while some of your roots are being air pruned they are also being constricting where they can grow.
