For years now, gardeners in England have made the most of very limited garden space by growing vegetables, greens and herbs in plastic bags placed on steps, patios and landings. We’ve made improvements and achieved terrific results — and you will, too! First, our Grow Bags are made of patented, double-layer polypropylene instead of sheet plastic. This felt-like fabric breaths better, so your plants won’t suffer from heat build-up, overwatering, or poor aeration. Plus, our fabric air prunes plant roots, resulting in a strong, healthy root system. We’ve developed a Grow Bag for many popular crops — and this one is especially right for growing herbs or strawberries.

  • Ideal for strawberries or herbs
  • 16 planting holes!
  • Plant a garden anywhere you want!
  • Grow fresh peppers in any sunny spot
  • Our is the perfect planting mix!

THE SIDE POCKETS ARE PLANTED WITH HERBS AND THE TOP HAS A HERITAGE TOMATOE..... this can be moved as the season changes...I put a rolling caster under it, what a great idea!

Comments about Multi-Pocket Grow Bag, Black:

This was difficult to set up, and unless it rained for some time it was nearly impossible to keep it watered appropriately. I should have turned it from time to time to have different plants face the sun, but it was too heavy and awkward for me to do that. Perhaps if it half the depth it would have been more useful and I may try to cut it back this year.

Comments about Multi-Pocket Grow Bag, Black:

It is hard to tell since I just got it started.
Kind of big for strawberries at this point.
They are growing nicely
Think herbs might be a better choice to use.
I love the potato bag I also have it.

Comments about Multi-Pocket Grow Bag, Black:

This looks like a black plastic bag that is falling apart. It does not stand straight up - but rather falls over itself. Not pleasing to look at. After one day, needed to disassemble because so unsightly. I am terrible disappointed.

Comments about Multi-Pocket Grow Bag, Black:

didn't plant the last row of holes on the bottom. Even so, the next row didn't get enough water and I lost all the strawberries. The very top and the next row down are still good. Waste of money for the plants.

Comments about Multi-Pocket Grow Bag, Black:

VERY difficult to fill without loosing all the dirt out the bottom.Strawberry plants on the bottom are going to be crushed. only filled 2/3 of the holes in order not to loose plants. unstable..needs a central pole with holes for thorough watering all the way down.I have other planter bags and they are perfect..not this one..will have to wait and see.
PS better figure out where you want it BEFORE filling...no moving it after.
