Gardening in Grow Bags: 5 Tips for Success

Thank you for this article. I'm in Tucson and just started a bunch of grow bag gardens and I was wondering (after the fact) if grow bags work in our environment. This is reassuring. Grow bags are such a great idea! Not as big an investment as raised beds or livestock tanks or even containers/pots. Except I've run out of soil mix. That's an investment in itself.
-
They really are an economical way to get started or add more space. I agree the soil is an investment. Best of luck to you with your new bags.

Funny thing– I'm in Tucson too, and using my first grow bags! I've planted onions, pak choi, arugula, turnip greens, dandelion greens, scarlet runner beans, sweet peas and will be planting potatoes and gourds soon. Everything's growing like crazy; I wasn't sure how well the greens would do but they're all really growing well. Have to say, I love how I can just keep the extra bags folded up til I need them; I've been using them to tote mulch and so forth around my backyard too, they're so tough!

Wow! That's a lot growing. Good for you.

Whew you open bags and fill with more dirt. Do I close the bad back up.
-
Yes, I would close them back up.

Thanks for all the wonderful information you post on your YouTube videos and blog!
We are in North Phoenix and I purchased 10 gallon grow bags for our starter Garden.
I used the Mel's mix formula but I'm worried I screwed up the proportion as I counted the three cubic feet of compressed peat moss as 3 cubic feet.
My ratio was 3cu ft peat moss, 3 cu ft vermiculite, and 3 cu ft composted steer manure.
Then I read one of your footnotes that explained that the peat moss expanded and now I'm not sure if I need to unplant my peppers and remix my soil. The transplants were put in Tuesday and Wednesday.
If there's any way you have time to help on this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!-
You're probably ok, check the watering. It will hold water pretty well because of the extra peat moss. In the future I would also combine different types of compost rather than just the composted cow manure to add a variety of nutrients.

Thx! The recent cool days combined with the extra peat moss have kept the grow bags reading "wet" when the water meter is fully inserted. I will figure it out and recalibrate in the fall season. Your answer is very much appreciated

What are some ideas on how to transfer carrots from a small grow bag to a large grow bag
-
It's best not to transplant carrots or other root vegetables (except beets) – I would leave them in place in the smaller grow bag.

My potatoes in 10 gallon bags are growing like crazy. Their stems and leaves are near two feet tall above the top of bag. I got concerned a strong wind would not them over, so I dug small holes to place them in for stability
How tall will the stems and leaves grow too?
My first attempt with growing potatoes-
Wow! Those are some tall potatoes. Hopefully your bag is filled all the way up with soil. They should begin flowering and dying back at some point. That seems taller than any I've grown. You may have a lot of nitrogen in your soil.

Hi,
I live in Converse, TX. The heat out here is also pretty intense, would all of your great ideas/suggestions work for gardening in my area zone 8B ?
-
Hi Karla, Some of the dates will be different, but the general principles will be the same.

-
I like the grow bags featured on this page. Where can I buy them?
-
Gardener's Supply – If you click on the images of the grow bags it should take you to the type of grow bag pictured.

can we grow fig , lemon in grow bag?
-
It would need to be a large grow bag. Keep it well watered in the summer.
