Since moving to a condo, where the HOA won't allow conventional dirt gardens, containers became my only option. I've seen so many benefits in using grow bags, that I wouldn't want to go back to dirt gardening again. Beside the mentioned plusses, I'm thrilled that I haven't seen even one weed in the 3 years I've been gardening this way. My dirt gardens always required frequent weeding, even when mulched, and weeding was a time-consuming and back-breaking chore that I dreaded but it HAD to be done. With bags, I started by purchasing around 200 pounds of good quality potting mix and added composted cow manure and fish waste to initially fill my bags. I find the bags practically cannot be over-watered. The soil never turns to mud and the bags themselves shed extra water nicely. After growing season is done, I screen the mix into large covered plastic tote containers to use again, remove old root balls, and hose out the bags. A spray of hydrogen peroxide on the bags interiors takes care of any pathogens and I machine wash and dry them before storing. Then in Spring, a fresh 40 pound bag of compost makes up for the lost mass and fertility. A 10 pound compressed block of clean pine wood shavings for mulch has lasted for 3 years. Sometimes, I will over-Winter the best of my peppers in the basement seed-starting corner under grow lights. I've automated both indoor and outdoor watering. At 73, I appreciate anything that reduces my workload. Y'all keep growing strong!

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.

I have 2 GreenStalks that I just got this year and and some food safe buckets and 10 grow bags. I hope to put bigger things in the grow bags and buckets and lettuce & herbs, bush beans, dwarf peas, etc in the GreenStalks. Next year I hope to get into the dwarf tomato project and I’ve heard they do well in GreenStalks. I’ve never been good at gardening but since I found your channel I’m finding that I get a lot of ideas and help from you! Thank you! I appreciate all you do!!😊

I’m trying to get a compost bin started. I know I’ll need that and for the GreenStalks I need liquid fertilizer. I’ll probably use it in the grow bags too. The GreenStalks are already planted for the most part. I’ll probably add more beans and peas to them. I plan to put the tomatoes and peppers in grow bags…..mine that I started inside are leggy and probably worthless! I’m upset that I didn’t find your channel sooner so I would have known what to do! UGH! I know it’s late to start tomatoes and peppers but what can I lose? Gotta try, right? It’s only a few seeds that I may lose….but I’ll have nothing if I don’t try. I’m in zone 7a and probably won’t get many tomatoes but It’s worth a try to plant what I do have (lol) and some fresh seeds and see what happens. I’m not afraid to try….but it bothers me a lot to fail. Only about 2 miles or less from us is zone 7b….what I’d give for that or higher! I’m frustrated but I’m not giving up! My lettuce’s and herbs are doing fantastic. Beans, peas and okra etc are doing great too! I just need to nail the tomatoes and peppers. I’m actually thinking about winter sowing for tomatoes and peppers…..they seem to be my problem plants! Any advice will be welcomed! I really love your channel!!! ❤️

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.

This was happening to mine so I put two long 2x1 boards down in parallel and set the bags on them. This keeps them up of the ground and air all around the bags. It is helping to keep the tiny snails that showed up for the first time in my garden this past year. (Think they rode in on some bark mulch, sigh). They like to stick to the bottom and sides of the bags when right on the dirt so trying to reduce a welcoming environment for them since they will crawl into the bags and munch the base of the plant stems.

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!
@sandyhayden-bristow1382 Жыл бұрын
Potatoes need water yes, but much less than you think. Unless I get a lot of rain, once a week I put my bags in a small tub with a few inches of water for about an hour. The soil wicks up what it needs without becoming saturated to the point of mud. Another trick is to just put an inch of sand in the bottom of the bag, soil mixture on top and it will help with extra drainage. You'll get the hang of it, it all comes with time and practice.
