I'm working on a very low ( preferably free) gardening budget right now so I was looking for the best containers for my garden. And then my dog food company gave me a tiny bit of inspiration by suggesting using the food bags I was already buying as grow bags when they are empty! Genius! Couple holes in the bottom and a few on the sides to allow for water to drain and it seems to be working. Sure they don't look very snazzy but I'm more focused on learning to grow right now anyways. So far I've succeeded in potatoes, and and currently growing some kale, pak choy and radishes. Fingers crossed!

I'm a renter and the current rental doesn't have a garden - which I don't mind as I don't have to keep it nice and tidy. However, thanks to Covid I no longer have a job so growing food is a must and seeing the grow bags here tells me they are probably a better option than the containers I am using. They look really versatile and movable - which really is a must for me.

I put lavender in a pot this year - it didn't do so well (i'm in zone 7a in a highrise, facing east - i think the roots got too hot) so I'm going to try it in a grow bag next year. They'sre definitely versatile. I put mine in pot trays on top of wooden dollys, so I can just roll them around as needed.

This is my second year using grow bags and I love them. The are growing very popular in AZ, zone 9B. I have seven citrus trees, a guava, Moringa, pomegranates and a dwarf everbearing mulberry in bags. I had a mango, avocado, fig and another guava that fell victim to a rescue dog. I plan on adding more fruit trees and they will be in bags. I grow tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, artichokes, broccoli, beans, herbs, and strawberries in bags. I’ve had the best success when I water from below and the water wicks up through the bag. I do have to fertilize more frequently. I have a Greenstalk as well but use it mainly for lettuces and herbs. I’m enjoying your channel because I have similar goals of combining the best of the old and the new in an urban setting.

I tried that last season. Worked great, but despite being 18 inches high (it was a large snapset pool), what I think were toads laid tons of eggs in it. By midsummer, it was full of tadpoles. Just be prepared, and buy some mosquito granules to sprinkle in every couple of weeks or so just to be on the safe side. Won’t harm the tadpoles. Another thing I found interesting is that a couple of my tomatoes grew roots through the grow bag into the water. My bags are a couple seasons old and have been dragged around. It’s possible they’re a little weaker on the bottom. Don’t know if it would happen with new ones.

It’s not that much water, so it doesn’t take much.

I have a Hugh pot on my patio.that I planted potatoes because they produce under the dirt then I placed a container blackberry bush in the same pot because it grows upwards.. added some marigold to keep some pests away. First year doing my own gardening, always helped others. Now I'm 63 and doing my own from watching KZfaq vids.😊 I purchased a Condo (paid off) I've redone all the flower beds a rose of Sharon in each,they definitely attract bee's. A few vegetables tucked in and around as well in the flower beds and many vegetable containers. All kinds of peppers, squash, tomatoes, blackberries and potatoes. Sweet and regular. .I'm not getting any fruit off my squash yet only Flowers so I moved the squash pot and peppers around by the rose of Sharon where 3 nice size bee's have been having a good time. I Pray they pollinate my veggies as well. God Bless and Thank You Debbie G OKC 🙏🙋🏼‍♀️

I usually kept them on my driveway but after seeing your potato video and the first hot & sunny summer here in the 22 years here I moved them into the shade. And a few weeks ago moved them back to the driveway. 🙏 I get a decent crop. The little rain we did get I found out wasn’t enough but I keep adding to the pot pieces if potatoes eyes, water & soil in hopes for make up for what may have died off. The growth I have is doing good on top! After seeing this video, I’m hoping to be able to make some small pots with ground cover to be able to grow a few items in my house.

I love the idea of planting theme gardens in bags and will try that this season. Love your videos !

You can use those kiddie wading pools to set the grow bags in and add a bit of water as well... another thing I discovered is that you can fill a grow bag up to about 2 inches below the top of the pot, or more depending on the plant and size of pot, so the plant grows upward above the top, then all of the branches grow up above the top as well. The plant will create a nice even canopy with all the tops of the branches pretty even, then, you fold the edges down and the whole plant will Bush out nice and wide. Surprisingly, the plant will not get too tall and leggy this way, because it's energy goes toward growing all branches upward, not just the main center one.

How many pepper plants per 5 gallon bag

@matthysloedolff 3 жыл бұрын

@@anntoyia1728 it depends how big you want your peppers to grow and how much you want them to carry. If you have a long growing season I would suggest 1 per bag. It will take the plant some time to fill out its roots before it will focus more on stem growth. You may even want to start them off in smaller pots and pot them up gradually. It saves a bit of time. You could also start it indoors during the colder months to get the most out of it. I wouldn't recommend more than 2 per 5 gallon bag as they may starve one another out for nutrients and water, so you may end up with slightly stunted growth and less yield. I have my peppers in 3-4 gallon bags and I had plenty of peppers.

Lost a huge old shade tree in a microburst this summer......silver lining is more sun so more garden!!!! Sheet mulching this fall to smother the lawn as per Charles Dowding method. Already have a bunch of seeds harvested. Putting in 200 garlic cloves this week. By some miracle and frost blankets, I still have beans, borage, carrots, green onions, swiss chard, basil, cilantro, daikon radish and kale growing....and 2 growbags of cherry tomatoes cozied up next to the house. In zone 4 Canada, where we had our first frost August 31.

I started using grow bags for the portability so plants can get more or less sun but I found that once a given bag was in a happy spot, the plants roots would start to grow through the bottom into ground! It’s not a big deal but definitely makes me move them around at least a little so they don’t get stuck somewhere.

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 :D

Once again, your video comes right on time! I'm currently reading your new book & I have my grow bags of different sizes. I bought bamboo stakes @ both 4' & 6' lengths- was thinking that I could use them for supports so I was very glad to get verification from you that it should work!!🤞 I appreciate all the info. Lots of great information in the new book, too! I like the format & the way it reads. Congratulations again on it! (Hopefully the grow bag gods will be good to me🌿!)

I just started most of my fall crops in grow bags because my summer crops in my raised bed are still producing (central TX over here!) So far, I am LOVING them! I had no idea they were better for root systems, either. Glad I made this purchase. I am still planning to add more raised beds to my yard but these are so awesome in the meantime!

Yes, please do a video on bamboo trellises! I loved the one you showed. You mentioned that they’re inexpensive and easy, but I think they’re also beautiful.

fyi...bamboo prices are rising because of the demand. I was thinking about growing and drying my own bamboo eventually. this way it will block out my nosey neighbors too!

I mix in a bit of silica gel to hold the moisture to prevent drying out

helen alderson Good tip. I had nothing but problems trying to keep strawberries alive in a strawberry grow bag. It was too hot here in Perth over spring & summer last year & they struggled even with 2x a day watering & eventually burnt to a crisp and died. I had thick mulch over the top & the side bits but it wasn’t enough. I live near the coast so we get lots of sea breeze daily and the bags dried out really badly in the wind too. If I ever used a grow bag again ( probably not ) I would line it with a garbage bag first.

Susan Lisson Sit your grow bag in a watering tray, Once the bag dries out it’ll wick more from your saucer.
