Comments about Potato Grow Bag:
We purchased your grow bags and potatoes this spring. Our ground grows rocks, very inhospitable to any root crops. We thought this growing system, placed on a concrete pad, would finally allow us to have at least a small potato harvest.
Despite following Gardeners' instructions and making sure they all were watered through the hottest, dryest summer in 30 yrs., our efforts were rewarded with 2 small potatoes, not much larger than those we planted. Admittedly, our raised beds did not produce as well as usual, but we did harvest enough from them to make the effort worthwhile.
We may try these again next year, but for this season they have been an expensive failure.

Comments about Potato Grow Bag:
How much and what kind of soil to put in , how to water was not clear enough because it didn't work for me. And now I don't know how to try again. Do I empty the old soil? Does it need to be outside? I was trying to grow it in a growing dome because of deer.

Comments about Potato Grow Bag:
We have had 3 of these units for the past two years with incredible production from our seed potatoes. This year we averaged 40 per planting. The harvest is as easy as buying in the store. Use store bought soil to ascertain easy planting and watering. Also put them on large plant saucer bases with wheels to make them easy to use on deck or patio. BEST VALUE and QUALITY for the price!!

Comments about Potato Grow Bag:
These bags are easy to fill and plant. We use a tube sprinkler in our plants and the plants never get flooded. I like the bags because I can flip the bag over and pull out the potatoes without spearing them with a spade or fork. Would like them a little taller so that more soil could be added and more potatoes would form. Bought two similar bags from another company but G.S. bags are sturdier and can be reused.
Pros
- Drains Well
- Holding Capacity

Cons

Comments about Potato Grow Bag:
This product is so great that I ordered 7 more for next year's garden. They are very space-saving. When I'm finished for the season I just have to clean them up, fold them up and store them. No big pots sitting around all winter.

Comments about Potato Grow Bag:
I selected grow bags for my first time growing spuds this year after reading great reviews, having good experiences with grow bags for other veggies and pics on the website showing well contained potato plants. This summer, I am growing viking purple (early) and fingerlings (late) - very early on my plants outgrew the containers and have been spilling all over my yard for months. The sides "flop" and there is no way to make them as neat as the pictures show which makes the overgrowth even more difficult to control. I haven't gotten to harvest time yet but I can't recommend this product to anyone, although they may work better for a different (smaller) crop.
Pros
- Drains Well
Cons
Best Uses
- Window Decoration
Comments about Potato Grow Bag:
planted certified potatoes and used soil recommended. Plants grew nice but didn't produce any potatoes. Big waste of time and money
