Garden in a Bag

Garden in a bag.
I have never actually done this, someone sent me this suggestion,

and a link,in an email and I thought it was a very cool idea.
Get a bag of potting soil at your local garden center.

You'll be using this bag as your, 'container'.

(This is for small space OUTDOOR gardens.)

Punch some holes in one side of the bag and lay the bag,

hole-punched side down, in the outdoor area

you've selected at the spot for your small space garden.

This is for adequate drainage.

Cut the top side of the bag and prepare the soil for planting,

right in the bag.

It works best if you use starter plants, rather than seeds.

Once the plants have been planted,

give the plants and soil a gentle soaking.

You want to be sure it is well watered

without displacing the plants.

You'll also want to check and be sure the holes

you've punched are providing adequate drainage.

Garden in a bag,

it sounds pretty simple and I'm going to give it a try,

as soon as all dangers of frost have passed.
