Asda did them last year for a bargain price (£1.50 for the 44/47 variety) early in the season. Not seen them at that price anywhere this year.

I noticed asda have the £1.50 grow bags in today

Going for Levington Tomorite Giant growbags this year, giving them a try

Just as a side issue, has anyone seen the grow bag watering trays? I thought the idea was good but the price was absolutely ridiculous.

Doesn't this do the same job?

I would imagine it would be very similar. Perhaps a little more uneven watering though?

I have Seen flat trays but not those. Crazy. Unecessary if you are there to water

There is 1 main issue here;

Growbags are not suitable for vine/tomato cultivation;)

The easiest thing to do is to cut a growbag in half then stand upright.

"Growbags are not suitable for vine/tomato cultivation"



Really? I have very successfully grown several different tomato varieties 3 to a large grow bag for many years.

Having said that, this year I am going to try some in pots. What size should the pots be?

Thanks
