Does anyone know where to get the tissue for fabric pots sold by the meter? in Europe I would like to try to make one to measure the entire space in my tent.

Most places have their own blend of fabrics to make the pots. If you are handy any type of textile will do. Most use nylon/polly blends, synthetics to avoid rot from water. Some use naturals like wool or cotton but they degrade much faster and can support organisms. One thing to keep in note is it density and thickness. a felt like fabric would work well but it has to be durable. I've also used old polly fabric shopping bags when they where made a bit more thicker and durable vs now, now they are tissue thin. I think its easier to buy the pots vs make em and you can reuse them if you like the idea. I used to be a big fabric pot guy but they are a bitch to clean and I would much rather poke holes in a hard plastic pot to create aeration. Easier to clean and reset for a new grow. Makes your washing machine shit too if you put em in there, and they need to be soaked for a few days in vinegar to kill the buildup on them. Good Luck!

The common name for that is Landscapers Felt or Cloth. Most garden centers will have some form of it. I can get it by the roll I think they are 36 inches by 30 foot. Chuck.

I don't know where to get it, but it's called geotextile fabric. Might help your search.
