What Pots do you use for Living Soil?/!

I am currently using sub-par el-cheapo fabric pots 15 gal. I have a 4x4 and am thinking of just running three pots at a time. If I upgrade would most get Grass Roots pots or Air Pots? I would think air pots would dry the soil out too much to really support a living soils model? Does anyone use these?
I'm wanting to change my containers before I get too many cycles in. I'm also thinking about doing the horizonal system, because right now I have no base layer.

What you got ? ? ?

I use the 30 gallon GrassRoots Fabric Pots.....4 of them will fit a 4x4 tray or space.

4 30s fit in a 4x4 tent?

Air pots and there is one on ebay that appears to be a close knock off all black that works in my tests just as well. Done tests with same clones on pots, fabric pots and air pots all 5 gallon. The air pot wins hands down no question about it. not even close. all organic here so don't question it just due it. bigger the better as I have a couple 7 gallons work super. Ive even changed hard to handle house plants that love air pots.

htg makes knockoff air pots that work great, I've got the 5 gallons, but I know they make a 12 gallon or so too. They sell at their store and amazon. I'm quickly converting all of my fabric pots to air pots, mainly because the bottoms of the air pots dry out so much faster than the fabric pots.

I’ve had my 3gal and 7gal velcro and 15gal handle geopots for 9-10 years having 1-3 crops through them a year.
Just wash and scrub them after each grow or pay a laundromat $20-25 to wash em all.
Great value and way thicker than a lot of other brands.
Kind of hard to find in Canada but worth the money

yep, agree completely, tired of draining pots after water? Battery Operated Liquid Transfer Pump Handheld Gas Oil Fish Tank Siphon Water on ebay is the trick. now they are cheap and some last one or multiple grow cycles best use of time imo. just pick up pot in the saucer placing the tube in tray saucer to drain excess water. leaves a little but now you see some roots suck it up kinda like hydro. experimenting

The idea is to never clean them and never change the soil. I would think with a horizonal system the bottom won't dry out too fast and the sides (if a grass roots) won't dry up as fast either.

Im sorry if I was unclear, I get what living organic soil is.
I was just stating I’ve washed geopots like 15-20 times and they still kicking

I actually have a manual gas transfer pump, it was my backup for when my battery one broke. Now I've been using it for months, love it! I've been using these "square farmer" trays that prop your pot up off the bottom-they're pricey but pretty sweet not to have separate saucers and risers, totally worth it for a small grow.
