So here is a suggestion on how to reuse the soil. In the fall when your summer plants are dying/gone go to Home Depot or Lowe’s and get a big storage container. Then put all the dirt in them and mix in some dead leaves, grass clippings, and food scrapes. Keep moist and you will have renewed soil for next year!

I’ve spent the last month doing research as I am preparing for my garden. I’ll be using grow bags for 90% of my vegetables and flowers and it’s been impossible finding a in depth video. I absolutely love this video. Everything I needed to know explained and detailed!

I have my grow bags on plant stands with casters... (the round plant stands that they sell at Lowes/HD), I find them easier to move.

They are also easy/inexpensive to make, which I eventually did the more bags I bought. The plant stands at the store are not inexpensive so by making them I saved some money and instead put those savings towards more seeds/soil ect. We had an extra cedar fence panel that didn't get used so I took the panels apart and cut them into 12x12 and build a plant stand and added casters... they turned out nice. Now I know how to make them for anything that I need help with moving. All it cost me where the $10.00 casters., and that was because I went with the expensive casters.. which honestly is not necessary.

Also if you aren't good with tools you can find real good wooden cutting boards at the thrift stores for around $2.00, all you have to do is screw the casters and call it a day (those I would seal properly so they last longer).

And that's how I move my bags or heavy ceramic pots... or anything heavy that I can't move alone... even furniture 😅

A cheap plastic kid's pool is a great way to water growbeds from underneath. Letting water wick up keeps the surface dry so less weeds can germinate. Put a hole in the pool about 3" from the bottom so it can't get too full from the rain. Put a mosquito dunk in the water to kill the larvae. You can leave your plants much longer that way than watering with a hose. One pool fits a lot of bags, depending on the sizes used.

This is the most comprehensive, helpful grow bag video I've seen. Thanks so much for the video! ♥️

I am just adding grow bags to my garden. I very much appreciate all these tips!

[grisespino]

I wasn't aware there were self watering grow bags. I think it's great. Thanks for sharing love your videos and garden.

I've been growing in fabric pots for over ten years. Never really thought of combining vermiculite with with a fabric grow pot. Heard a lot negative things about to much water retention with vermiculite in traditional plastic pots. Makes a lot of sense in a fabric pot situation. Thank you for the great information.

[wendyflanagan]

Thanks for including information on what size is best for various plants. I've always struggled with that.

I bought last year 4 giant grow bags and filled them with a even mix of coco coir sand manure compost and added blood meal with bone meal, I grew so many sweet potatoes last year and I was able to stick my hand in and occasionally check the size of my harvest that was awesome!

I’m in central NC. Just starting a small victory garden. We have a great area with morning sun and late afternoon shade in the front yard, but with this being my first time gardening, I wasn’t ready to tackle amending the very root filled, clay based soil. Opted for containers and grow bags. Just got 12 fifteen gallon bags yesterday! I’m happy to hear that the “cons” for using grow bags are fairly minimal. This was very helpful. Thank you!!

This is soooo helpful! Going to tackle gardening in grow bags this year and this video is amazing. Thank you!

[latriciacagle]

I’m in Tempe and use grow bags almost exclusively. I have mostly fruit trees in 30 gallon bags but have 10 and 15 gallon bags for other plants (pomegranate, grapes, tomatoes, melons etc). I use my vertical tower for herbs and strawberries. I just found your channel and subscribed because it is hard to find information specific to our climate. I’m looking forward to watching previous videos as I see topics that are relevant to my garden.

This could be the most helpful gardening video I've ever seen

[homehelpheart]

SO GLAD that I came across your vid on the garden website! This is my first year growing vegetables in a grow bag. I didn't even know they existed until a couple of years ago when my upstairs neighbor used them to grow vegetables on her patio. Wish I had seen this video before I purchased my grow bags because I would have gotten a self-watering grow bag for my tomatoes. Oh well! Next year. I am in a condo and I'm not allowed to plant outside so I am doing my garden 100% indoors this year and hoping for the best.

I am so excited to find your channel!! I came from high desert gardening (Colorado) and was worried about the heat here in Maricopa County. So stoked to see your garden and that you have had success with bags. Thank you for such excellent info!!
