Do AutoPot Root Control Squares Really Prevent Root Growth?

AutoPot’s Root Control Squares are designed to control root growth in 2.2 and 3.9 gallon AutoPot systems. These squares are specially made to fit AutoPot’s 1Pot system, easy2grow Kit, and 2Pot extension trays. But do they actually work as advertised?

How AutoPot Root Control Squares Work

The Root Control Squares are made of a unique material with a metallic gold coating that effectively prevents roots from escaping the pot and reaching the AQUAvalve. This ensures the AutoPot system functions optimally by avoiding clogging or damage to the irrigation components.
