    Make your own Growbags

    Here's a good use for some of those old plastic carrier bags multiplying in your kitchen cupboards.... Just fill with compost, well rotted muck etc and use as a single plant growbag, light enough to move around if necessary.

    I'd like to take credit for this tip, but it was actually published in a little book called Superhints for Gardeners, compiled by The Lady Wardington. It contains quite a few good tips and (if its still in print?), royalties from sales go to the Katherine House Hospice.

    Yes, but carrier bags tend to disintegrate rather easily. I'd far rather use a large pot.

      Think you'd be ok with the really thick bags like Lakeland's but the flimsy bags do disintigrate as RL says, I lined some baskets with them and at the end of the season had a fine time picking the distintigrated bits out of the soil.

        Good point, I will use the the thicker type of bag (actually have quite a few old compost bags that will probably do the job better), but will let you know how I get on with the experiment this year - I have run out of large pots and am trying to re-use, recycle.... and all that
