Growing bags consist of a sturdy plastic bag packed with fresh, sterile compost, ready to use as a planting container and are an easy way to grow a wide range of tender fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines, peppers and even melons. They retain moisture well and eliminate the need to dig and fertilize the soil before planting. They are useful for greenhouses without beds or borders, or for those whose soil has become infected with disease.
