From ethiopam 🇪🇹😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉❤
I must use grow bags because I must do all my growing on my porch. Almost everything I grow is small or stunted and sometimes nonexistent ! I am really discouraged.
What are they made from? Natural, organic, materials?
these are so expensive, just get a 5 gallon bucket for $5
Looked for grow bags at 2 local places. Neither had or had even heard of them. 😕
Wow. Wonderful. Orderin more !!!
I tried em for a few seasons. Not a big fan, although the large ones can be useful.
This will be my first year with grow bags. Fingers crossed
Is this a good idea for hot Florida Temps
How big of a pot do you need to grow leaf lettuce?
I put some carrot seeds into a big black fabric bag and stuffed it in the unseated greenhouse over winter. The carrots germinated, I’ve put the bag outside and are on their way to be early carrots. My bags have handles! Will do much more this year
I agree I have 20 along with my above beds and in ground, I enjoy the fabric grow bags and above ground beds thanks for vid showing people in apts can do this on their patios
I have 36 fabric containers and 10 plastic containers and 7 gutters growing right now so far everything is doing great
My only real complaint with growbags is in my area drought wreaks havok on even standard potted plants. So the growbags dry out even faster. So really need to keep on top of water needs and move the plants into shade if necessary. Other is they dont offer much stability in high winds without adding rocks or something to give them a little weight against the wind
Starting my first garden in grow bags , so far so good and easy on the back
I have 4 Smart Pots. Last year, I used the two biggest ones in addition to the elevated bed at the community garden. If your fabric pots are sitting on the grass or soil, the roots will grow through the bottom of the pot into the soil/grass below. Even if watered regularly, the main root can work itself fairly deep into the soil. It's funny in a way. It took me and my son to pull that pot far enough up in order to cut the root. In 2019, I used all four of my fabric pots and grew an Early Girl tomato plant some Market More cucumber plants, bunching onions, nasturtiums, marigolds, and tried to grow California Wonder peppers. My peppers liked the heat; but, didn't do so well in the sun. I tried to grow potatoes; but, they didn't do well either.
I have 3 tomato plants that over winter wintered in place, which are 10 gallon grow bags. Already harvesting tomatoes in 9B.
Tried grow bags last year and had the most potatoes in them versus the ground.
I have about 15 grow bags, up to 30 gallons. Tomatoes, pepper and cucumbers love them. Downside when we had a freak freeze, the whole bag freeze. Even though I moved and covered the base.
Will you be doing a video on the cons? As much as I utilize grow bags I have learned from experience that it is not cost effective if you can garden in ground. Grow bags require more fertilizer and water and let’s not forget soil.
👍👍🇺🇸
I have had my 20 gallon fabric grow bags for four years now. I have never brought them in for the winter in zone 5b. I don't deal with them until spring. They still look and work like new. I find that they work even better if not placed directly on soil or a hard surface. I have mine on top of small mounds of thick cut wood mulch. I get even better drainage this way and more air under the base. The bottom won't rot out as quickly, either.
Lol they are awesome, started last year. Your right never going back
My experience was the bottom half of the soil was soupy mud. Did get some potatoes though so not a failure by any means. Maybe I watered too much?
It was my first time using them so it was probably my fault the soil turned to mush at the bottoms.
I'll give them another try this spring. Never give up!
Hello. I tried grow bags last year and the issue I had was a green moss or mold started growing on the bags. Not sure if it was the soil I used or what. Do you have any tips to minimize this…Thank you
I haven’t tried these yet. I’m stilling waiting on a sponsor.
Been using fabric pots for a couple of years for some of my veggies and small fruit and I love them!!! Hubby thought I was out of my ever living mind until he saw the results. Talking about eating your words. lol I've got about 40 of them, trick is to keep the birds and squirrels out of them.
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I found the handles rot and weaken after the first year and broke off.
Gonna try some carrots in fabric bags this year. Biggest bags I've got now are five gal. That should be ok for a Roma tomato or to small??
Lesson learned. This method needs to be looked after. Those bags dry out terribly. They are a commitment
Hi Jeff, Any do-not-experiences to share on grow bags? As, is it necessary to secure air flow beneath them to avoid mould?
yes they are so good! I bought em duz season and using it in my potato plants, I'll use it in yellow squash, zucchini too, and I'll mix in one tomato! it's kind of cheaper too when bought in multiple pieces, and if I go to box stores, I ask d employees for bigger pots that they'll recycle, they always give it if u ask for it, saves money!
do u leave em grow bags during winter time? when planting season is over?
I love my fabric grow bags! I’ve been using them for the past two years!
I love my fabric grow bags but they don’t love a weed eater. Lol 😂
🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
