Correction: the size pot I use is 1/2 gallon not 1 gallon. I try to not give out blatantly bad info!! Sorry. I finally realized the dirt from a five gallon bucket would fill ten of these pots and confirmed it by pouring water from the gallon jug into the plastic bag into one of the pots I use.
I do like the 1/2 gallon size and certainly would not go with anything smaller. If they�re set out any smaller a slug can eat most of the plant overnight but at the 1/2 gallon size the slugs start to leave them alone. I�m curious about the larger grow bags some folks use (like Mr. Muddy Waters...!) I don�t know how these go in the ground with no root damage (or maybe a little root damage doesn�t slow the plant down... Its certainly possible that a small amount of damage would have almost no negative effect on a healthy plant in a good environment.). I�m happy with the half gallon pots just didn�t realize they are not full gallon size!
Plants on left is garden soil plants on right is the sifted driveway dirt. I think every grower can do an easy free test of their soil by comparing their garden soil to their potting mix or to any other soil in a trial like this one.
The results may range from frustrating to surprising.
