Grow bag

What fruit/veg can i grow in a grow bag?

Have a garden that is a state but which I want to grow fruit and veg in eventually, but since time is lacking to get it cleared and turned over I want to grow some food stuffs in grow bags this year to get myself started. Any ideas.

Almost anything, some i've grown are, Tomatoes, Radishes, i've also grown these in seed trays, Lettuces, Button Carrots. I'm sure other A/Bers will come up with more.

Looks like Lonnie's pretty much covered it, if you like your runner beans but think the canes could be a problem you might like to try some dwarf french beans that need no support, or if you have a sunny sheltered spot ie a south facing wall you could try some exotic veg like peppers aubergines etc..

Tomatoes, Peppers, salad crops, courgettes, aubergines. Tall beans will be a problem because you will need supporting canes. Use the material from the growbag afterwards to dig into your veggie patch to help improve the soil.

We buy old houses and do them up and doing a whole garden can seem like a huge task. You wonder where you will get the time.A couple of hours at a time just feels like a less intense way to go. Garden clearance companies are a good start (just get a few quotes they will vary wildly I'm sure , just pick the cheapest this is not really skilled work) they have always been cheaper than I have expected and you feel so much better when you know that there is nothing unpleasant waiting to pop out from the under growth.

To be honest ,quite often, even cutting the grass back using a strimmer (from a hire shop) is a great start and only takes an hour or two.Then 'work' and plant in small sections, even using grow bags to start climbers and things .The advantage of doing this is that if you don' t like something in a particular spot or it does not do well because of too much sun etc you can move it before permament planting easily. For seeds we go to the discount retailers like lidl and aldi as they are good quality and cheap.You can make a temp. climbing plant support from garden canes, so you can grow things like runner beans ,tomato and cucumber in the grow bags. I stick upside down pop bottles with water in the bag so they don't dry out. Happy gardening!
