Grow bags are a convenient solution for gardeners who are short on space, but every gardener can enjoy the benefits of grow bags. In this book, I answered all your questions them, including all the advantages as well as the challenges and how to overcome them. For those not ready to commit to a permanent garden space, grow bags provide the perfect opportunity to get started with growing. Whether growing veggies, herbs, flowers, or trees, grow bags are a viable option. Grow bags come with a lot of perks. For starters, they are cheaper than pots, they're easy to move around thanks to the nifty carry handles they often have, and they are available in many shapes and sizes - what's not to love, right? What are grow bags? Grow bags are plastic or fabric bags that can be filled with a growing medium and used to grow vegetables and other plants. Grow bags are best used with plants that don't have deep root systems, such as potatoes, salad greens, tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and similar vegetables. If the concept of grow bag gardening has tickled your fancy and you'd like to get a bit (or a lot) more clued up before you get started, simply keep reading - we cover it all. Grow-bag gardening is a great way to grow veggies and herbs. The general rule is that if you can grow it in a container, you can grow it in a grow bag and have just as much success. They're an excellent solution for those without in-ground garden space or just with limited space. Below are the few basics you need to know about getting started with grow-bag gardening. How Do Grow Bags Work? One of the biggest reasons so many people opt for grow bags is how they work. Let's consider plastic containers first. Plastic containers work great for many plants, but they're not always the best option for your plant's roots. As you may know, a plant in a plastic container will have roots that grow to the edge of the container and then continue growing. This causes a circular root growth pattern and eventually leads to the plant becoming rootbound. This is where grow bags really shine, especially when using breathable fabric bags. When the plant's roots reach the side of the bag, they stop growing. Why? Because when a plant's roots contact air, they will stop growing in that particular direction. The air circulation through the grow bag walls also leads to healthier crops because roots need air in the soil to grow.
