STUFF WE LIKE: Vivosun Grow Bags

We grow many vegetables in containers as well as raised beds. Forever tiring of pulling weeds, combined with the desire to move veggie plants inside during occasional cold nights in early Autumn, we gave these recycled material grow bags a try.

After rolling out a layer of weedblock, the grow bags were filled with a quality potting/garden/compost mix and plants inserted. The five gallon size is just right for Chile Peppers, but a little small for tomatoes (seven gallon size will definitely be ordered for the next growing season).

These things are great - lightweight with handles making them easy to move about. Instead of heavy clay pots, or plastic pots that sunfade and crack, the grow pots are darned nice. Several brands were researched before we landed on the ones from Vivosun - nothing fancy but they work. Its even possible to use tomato cages in the simply by bending the ends that would normally penetrate the ground - they stayed put pretty well.

Future seasons will certainly see more of these wonderful containers in our garden. Hope you'll try them!
