Potato Growing Bags

Filed under: potato — TopVeg @ 6:01 am

Potato Growing Bags are ideal for gardeners who are short of space. The bags will go on a small verandah, porch or patio.

The potato grow bags have handles to move them about. The potatoes can even be started off inside, and moved out when the first shoots appear. This should speed up the time to harvest, and produce an even earlier crop of new potatoes!

There should be no slug damage with potato grow bags, as slugs do not like crawling up the outside of the bag to reach the potatoes.

Watering is very important with grow bags, particularly when the potatoes are in full leaf. Care must be taken to get the water under the leaves so that it soaks into the soil. If the potatoes are getting a lot of sun, they will need a lot of water to replace that lost by transpiration.

The Potato Growing bag is quite an investment because it can be re-used over & over again.
