Growing bags are an ideal way to grow tomatoes, aubergines, chillies and cucumber on sunny patios and balconies, as well as in the greenhouse. Our easy care guide will show you what to do.
What to do
Loosen the compost in the bag by shaking and kneading it like a pillow.
Shape the bag into a low hummock, making sure compost is evenly spread.
Pierce the base of bag for drainage and cut out the pre-marked planting squares or, if you are planting rows of salads, cut out a long rectangle.
Scoop out compost from each square leaving a hole big enough for the root ball of your plant. Put a plant in each hole and refill around it with compost. The top of each root ball should be just below the top of the bag.
