Growbags on Kennel for Corgettes and cucumbers?? Advice Please :)

Chimera

Righy ho.. I'm thinking of making the most of my garden space by growing some stuff on the kennel.. I'm using at the moment, but just for seedtrays, pots etc. Kennel is at back of garden in pic

I would like to put some growbags round the edges and maybe plant cucumber and courgettes..

So, a couple of questions

1. anyone got experience of this?
2. How many plants per growbag?
3. Any other suggestions of plants I could grow this way?

Cheers

Cucumbers in grow bags are fine, but only two per bag, not three. If you get trailing ones, and most are, you could train them up the kennel, which would let the cucs hang down and be straighter

Courgettes, they prefer in ground, but you try the bigger double sized [an double priced] bags. But do make sure you get bush courgettes, and only one per bag, they are big plants

Going to get my grobags going soon.. thinking cucumbers and squash, courgettes I think I will leave to go in ground and raised bed.

Any advice on how many squash per bag?

Well, I've put a couple of growbags on there with squash & pumpkin, so will see how it goes. Will take some pics and update if it works!!
