Switched from plastic pots to fabric ones this spring, big difference for my tomatoes

I used to just use standard nursery pots for everything but switched to fabric grow bags back in April after my cherry tomatoes kept getting rootbound on my balcony. The airflow seems to keep the soil way more even, my plants aren't drooping by noon even in direct sun. Has anyone else tried the fabric bags for peppers, do they work as well?

Did you see that video about fabric pots keeping roots from circling around?

Tried fabric pots a couple years back for my tomatoes (the ones that get all bushy and top-heavy). The roots poked through the sides like crazy and just air-pruned, so when I pulled them out at the end of the season, the root ball was a solid mass of white fuzz instead of a tangled mess. Made transplanting way easier too, since there was no circling to slice through.
