Product Description
GardenersDream Vegetable Grow Bags are perfect for growing your own root vegetables, or even any above soil fruit, vegetables or plants. The bag is designed with a window flap at the front of the bag, to inspect plants growth and progress or to harvest vegetables without digging into the soil.
Fabric pots produce a much healthier root system than the classic plastic pot, due to their breathability. The air exposure starts a process called 'air pruning' which creates a stronger root system and prevents root circling. Additionally, the grow bag provides excellent drainage, which prevents the common problem of over-watering.
Our grow bags are simple to use, eco-friendly and can be folded and stored, when not in use. The planter can be used anywhere, indoors or outdoors, as an alternative to the traditional plant pots or container; Simply, fill the bag with soil and add the seeds, seedlings or plants. After the growing season has ended, the container can be emptied, washed and stored away.
