Holes in growbag or not?

Oliver27

Apologies for such a basic question .

I am growing alicante tomatoes plants for the first time
in a tomorite giant growbag and covered in a plastic growbag house,
on the bag it says to avoid piercing the bag but nearly all the
articles i have read say to make two small slits on the underside

I was having a look and it does seem a little water logged at the very base of the bag, even though i haven't watered them since planting out about two weeks ago, when they had about 4 liters spread between the two plants.

the plants have come on quite well although one is growing faster than the other, so just wondered if i should pierce the bag or not, i have cut the bottom off a 2l water bottle and put a few small holes in it and plan to use that as drip waterer in the middle of the bag, when they actually need some water :rolleyes:

I always make a dozen or so holes (with a screwdriver) in the bottom of bags for drainage. Without it, roots and seeds tend to rot.

maybe they mean dont pierce (aka puncture) the bag other than in use.

Some growbags have slits in them, perhaps yours have?

That said I always make holes in them just to be sure
