Gardening with grow bags – use this simple, space-spacing method to grow your own fruit and veg

Grow bags in a garden with tomatoes growing.

Grow bags are a functional option for urban gardeners seeking vegetable garden ideas but do not have a large backyard. These innovative containers are space-saving and cost-effective, and crops such as potatoes, tomatoes and cucumbers will produce excellent harvests when grown this way. 

Put simply, grow bags are portable containers made from lightweight fabrics that are often permeable, with several advantages over traditional pots. One of the main advantages is portability, as they are light enough to transport to another spot in the backyard or another property. Grow bags are also a sustainable option as they can be reused year after year.
