Frugal Gardening In Home Made Grow Bags

If you don't have a lot of space, but want to grow vegetables or fruits consider using grow bags.

You can easily make grow bags by using large plastic trash bags and filling them with some inexpensive soil mix.  You will plant the large single plant of your choice in the opening of the bag, and sit it upright.

 If you want a larger crop, use a very big and sturdy trash bag, place it where it will grow, 

fill it with soil, lay it on its side, and cut the side open to plant a small garden.

You can also leave the bag upright, poke small holes in the sides, and insert plants, seeds, or cutting in the small holes. This is a very practical and pretty way to mix herbs and vegetables.

Before you plant anything in your grow bag, water the soil. Grow bags are great for patios, apartment balconies, or in yards with poor soil. You can place our grow bag over an old rug or strong cardboard if you think that it may need to be moved later in the season. The soil in the grow bags can be placed back in your yard at the end of the season, or you can add a bit more soil and plant a winter crop.
