  • half a grow bag

    I've got two courgettes in one grow bag and my insurance one seems to be doing well as well (grrr!), so I'm going to put it in another. What can I pop on the other side to keep it company? It'll be lying flat on it's back..the grow bag that is.

    I'm not going to bother with grow bags next year!

      Is there a less agressive squash? I have pumkins, butternut, courgette, patty pan, and another I forget the name of, all seem to be related to triffids!

        Anything that Chris suggests or a cucumber (as long as you remember it is not a courgette). Even a tomato or some cut and come again lettuce or.... the mind boggles. Anything that will fit really.

        I agree about growbags. I haven't bothered this year. Just bought large bags of compost and a load of flower buckets from Morrisons. Everything is doing better and is more manageable.

        Why didn't Noah just swat those 2 greenflies?

        Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

          Hmm, I was going to plant it with a cuke, but I'd already planted it out and now it's flowering, I don't want to move it.

          I have 3 butternut squashes too, so maybe one of them..and I can try and train them away from one another. Or is that crazy-talk?

            To make life (and watering) easier, why don't you separate the compost to each end of the gro-bag, then cut down the middle and stand on their ends. Et voila! you will have 2 big pots which will be far easier to water and feed. (probably need some extra holes making tho.

              If you're going to put a butternut in there then you'll need to make some sort of drip-feed arrangement for watering.... get a 3 litre (or bigger) bottle, and glue in a hose adapter near the bottom, add a dripper head and put at the squash end, in fact with a courgette in there it wouldn't be a bad idea to have one for each end.... This guy eBay.co.uk Shop ? All Seasons Gardener: Search results for. does all the bits for what appears to be sane prices....
