Vegetable Container Gardening in Growbags on a Commercial Farm



John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com visits swank farm to see what they are growing in growbags – which are basically a “container” to hold soil and grow vegetables in a commercial operation. You can grow at home in containers too!

    I find it so funny that in some places in the world they have to use shade houses like I have to use a green house. My daughter comented, how are you going to watch gardening videos when its winter here. I had to explain to her that some places grow year round. (I had to reminde her)

    @halleysmommy nice idea! i was thinking of the heavy duty bags too, and ur idea with the leaves is brilliant! also check out compost tea add that to the hydro system and increase teh plants tenfold, just utube compost tea! its amazing,

    You really got great advice. I have a few questions… is this system prone to pest attack and if it is how do you get rid. Another question can you reuse the grow bags?

    This is very inspiring for those of us who do not have an actual garden plot, but just a patio or balcony. Containers are a good option, and these grow bags hold a lot of potting soil or compost. Thanks!

    By balcony has vertical towers sitting on a wheeled wire rack (from wheeled wire storage shelving) with drip pans underneath to prevent rotting the balcony wood- watch out for that. The are mobile. Then I have brown pea netting going up into the air. Balcony growers need to go vertical!

    seems like it would be harder for pests to "jump" from one isolated bag to another, whereas in-ground plants can be attacked at random by wandering pests. With grow bags you can remove infested lots and either burn, sun-bake, or compost the contents. I prefer sun-baking then composting the dried remnants. Some blights or viruses can survive this however.

    The info about how many plants of each type this farm puts in their 7 gallon grow bags in this video is VERY useful.  Personally I go with the Jackpot Grow Bags because they are nursery quality, reusable, and MUCH more durable than throw-away plastic bags, which end up in a landfill very quickly. Fabric grow bags also provide much better soil aeration than plastic ones. Plus, you never need to worry about over-watering. Just make sure you water enough!  You can also grow perennials or even trees in Jackpots.  You can't do that in a plastic grow bag very well.  Thanks for this video John!  VERY GOOD INFO!

    That's how i started my small backyard farm. Grow Bags filled with coco coir on a drip system. Getting Hydroponic growth rates with very very minimal startup cost and maintenance cost. Each tomato plants i grow yields 60-70 pounds of tomatoes it's insane and it only costs 2-3 dollars for the total cost of each unit with all the costs factored in.
