Growing Bags VS Plastic Pots and Containers
Grow bags and plastic containers each have distinct advantages and disadvantages for gardening. Grow bags, made from breathable fabric, offer superior aeration and drainage, which can lead to healthier root systems. They're also lighter and more easily moved than bulky plastic pots.
On the other hand, plastic containers are durable, cost-effective, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They retain moisture longer than grow bags, which can be an advantage in dry climates.
You Don't Need a Lot of Space To Grow Plants In Bags
One of the standout advantages of using a Farm Plastic Supply grow bag is their space efficiency, making them perfect for urban gardens, balconies, or limited outdoor areas. Grow more with less space!
Because they're lightweight, relocating your plants for better light exposure or convenience is a breeze. Our grow bags are also easily stackable for storage when not in use, making them an excellent choice for gardeners with limited space.
Plant Selection is Key for a Successful Grow Bag Garden
Choosing the right plants is crucial for a successful grow bag garden. Not all plants are well-suited for container gardening, so it's essential to pick species that naturally thrive in confined spaces or have shallow root systems.
Root vegetables like like tomato plants, peppers, sweet potatoes, and herbs are popular choices, as are root crops like carrots and potatoes. Leafy greens like spinach and lettuce also adapt well in a grow bag.
Smaller plant bags are ideal for herbs, small annuals, and vegetable crops while larger ones can support fruiting vegetables and even some small fruit trees. Proper plant selection will not only ensure healthy growth but also make grow bag maintenance easier, leading to a more rewarding gardening experience.

Moisture Retention and Grow Bags - Plants in Growing Bags Need More Frequent Watering
Plants and root vegetables grown in grow bags typically require watering more often compared to those in traditional pots or garden beds. The breathable nature of the grow bag fabric allows for aeration but also leads to quicker evaporation of moisture from the soil.
Through trial and error, we at Farm Plastic Supply have found that a daily watering schedule, or even twice-daily in extreme heat, is necessary to maintain optimal soil moisture levels for root crops. Drip irrigation also works very well.
Is Fertilizer Safe To Use In Grow Bags?
Yes, fertilizer is generally safe to use in our grow bags and can be beneficial for plants. Our fabric grow bags offer excellent drainage and aeration, which can make it easier to manage nutrient levels in your potting soil.
We recommend following the specific fertilizer recommendations for the plants you're growing, as over-fertilizing can lead to nutrient imbalances and even damage the plants. Consider utilizing drip irrigation.
Grow Bag Gardening Placement - Where Should I Put My Plant Bags?
The placement of your grow bags will depend on several factors including the light, temperature, and wind conditions that your specific plants require and your available outdoor space.
Most vegetables and flowering plants require at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight, so a sunny spot is often ideal, a small balcony can work well.
However, if you're growing plants that prefer partial shade, you may want to place the bags in an area that receives dappled light. When it comes to raised bed gardening, grow bags work very well.
Our Grow Bags Are Reusable - Simply Wash and Use Year After Year
One of the great benefits of our grow bags is their reusability, offering both an economical and eco-friendly gardening solution.
With proper care, including gentle handling to avoid tears and punctures, our grow bags can last for many years, providing an excellent growing environment season after season. It's a sustainable choice that minimizes waste while maximizing your gardening potential.

How Should I Wash My Plant Bags?
Cleaning your plant bags is a straightforward process but essential for maintaining a healthy growing environment. First, empty the soil and shake out any remaining debris from the bag.
You can then soak the bags in a solution of water and a mild, bleach-free detergent or use a 1:9 vinegar-to-water solution to disinfect them.
After soaking for at least 30 minutes, scrub the bags gently with a brush to remove any stubborn soil or root fibers. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to ensure all soap and vinegar residues are removed.
Once clean, allow the bags to air-dry completely before storing or reusing them. It's a good idea to wash your grow bags at the end of each growing season or whenever you're switching the type of plant you're growing to prevent disease and nutrient cross-contamination.
Growing in Bags is Different, Use Well-Draining Soil For Best Results
Growing in bags presents a unique environment for plant roots that differs from traditional garden beds or plastic containers. The fabric's porous nature allows for excellent aeration and drainage, but this also means water can escape more easily.
To complement these characteristics, using good quality soil and well-draining soil is crucial for achieving the best results and building a more robust room system. A mixture rich in organic matter, perlite, and vermiculite will help maintain a balance of moisture and air around the root zone, preventing issues like waterlogging or drought stress.
In essence, well-draining soil acts as a perfect partner to the natural benefits of grow bags and aeration fabric pots, optimizing the conditions for plant growth, root system, nutrient uptake, and overall plant health.
