I need to plant swiss chard in a container…so it will have to be a longer rectangular planter, which these bags aren't available in. I wanted to plant it in plastic planters used for flowers but read online that the plastic could be bad to plant vegetables in due to perhaps the plastic leaching toxin into the soil…is that true or would it be safe ?
Can you use grow bags for fruit trees up to two years and then plant them in the ground?
What size grow bag do you recommend for any size fruit tree?
Can you grow beef steak tomatoes in a grow bag
Thank you so much! I love the themed bag idea!
Thanks Kevin, yet another dose of nutritive information of online study of great kitchen gardening. Love the way you send a blessing also.
It seems these bags do somewhat stunt the growth of plants as compared to the ground itself. I transplanted some squash which I started from seed and thought I would try 20 gallon bags. I also gave a few of my transplants to my neighbor, and his (in the ground) have exploded. Mine, in 20 gallon bags are growing but way behind his.
My own dear brother lives in San Diego. I miss him. I love that you love grow bags too. I'm growing in grow bags in an apartment and literally everything I'm growing in grow bags are doing better in the grow bags than they have in the containers. I have seen that in the grow bags too. I've even used a woven basket and planted beets. They came up fast. Woven baskets use to be used in ancient times because you could move them around and I live in town. In an apartment. I am inspiring I guess because I have a neighbor who says she loves our garden. I like Doller Tree having at least at the beginning of the season they offered 10 lb grow bags. You can roll down the sides.
Audio is too low
Sorry it wasn't you it was my phone setting
Some experts say never plant trees in grow bags! https://youtu.be/0Yhcu0gZvHo
Has anyone attempted raising red wigglers in large, fabric, grow bags?
this is brilliant! I just (finally) moved to a new apartment that has a huge balcony with direct sunlight. I went to home depot and spent some cash in supplies after binge-watching your channel 😀
Tomato in a hot climate will suck the water dry at the top and be wet and soggy and airless on the bottom. These breathe better.
I grew up on farm in Ireland, but didn't have to water our vegetables or flowers because it rained alot. I live in San Diego and have been gardening for a long time. I'm very innterested in grow bags.
Excellent thank you. I send you lots of positive energy
Do you think you can wrap plastic around the grow bag to prevent it from drying too quickly (not underneath though)?
Does anyone know where to buy food grade, safe grow bags (preferably made in U.S.A) that are't absurdly expensive. I'm looking for some 15 gallon and 40 gallon bags
My tip is elevate it
Could I grow zucchini and some bee-attractive flowers in the same grow bag or would the roots interfere with each other?
Can u put a orange tree in a grow bag?
Can you sit your grow bag, growing vegetables in a kid's swimming pool (with water in it). to prevent plant from drying out….Can you plant Kale in a grow bag in the fall…..First time user.
Are there mosquito issues with the "grow bag bathtub" method? If so, how do you control that? Thanks.
I currently have three 1 gallon/hour drip emitters for the single plant in each 10 gallon bag. However the soil in the grow bags is only wet right under the drip irrigation heads but is bone dry everywhere else. How many drip irrigation emitters would you recommend per 10 gallon bag?
Thanks for talking about the marigolds. My grandmother grew them every where in her garden. She said they kept the pests away.
