I have recently gone over to making large bags out of ground cover
membrane, using synthetic yarn for the seams,(I think you can buy them
ready made) they have been ideal as you can make them the size and shape
you need, they are big enough for the plant and they do not blow/fall
over. You still have the problem with the exposed top with the marginals
but some experimenting with Bog bean is disguising that quite well! Be
aware that you can get serious amounts of soil in them so weight is an
issue

Yesterday I saw some fleece bags intended for covering pots and tubs etc. I
wonder if they could be used the same way or would they rot down?
