Gardener's Best Potato Grow Bag

We have a number of these bags. We are on the fourth year using them. Last much longer than the flimsy ones we bought from another source.

When I decide to try growing potatoes, I knew I couldn't grow them in my horrible city backyard soil. Unfortunately, the fabric bags I own were not strong enough and my containers would be too heavy and awkward. I tried these potato bags and I am so happy that I did. Currently I have 2 bags growing potatoes, 1 growing sunchokes, and 1 growing tomatoes. I know these are titled "Potato Bags", but they are so strong and have been great at keeping my potatoes happy that I thought I would try tomatoes. So far my tomatoes are very happy. I also love the color (I purchased the periwinkle). They are sturdy enough to stand on their own and keep their shape while allowing drainage and airflow. Love them!

First year grew peppers in the bag, last season I tried spuds. I was shocked by the yield. The Russets were great.

Ended up having to grow a Brandywine in it. Thought I would need to transplant but it thrived 6' highly productive.

Growing in Florida with sandy soils means raised bed or container gardening. These big bags provide depth for large for rooted plants.

I ordered this to transplant a surprisingly healthy off-the-cuff ube potato plant. The one-gallon bag I ordered from another major retailer wasn't big enough, and I was trying to move away from them for the next purchase. This came as a great surprise - the fabric feels heavy-duty, the stitching feels solid, and it stands up without having anything in it, making it easy to fill and work with. So far, so good!

This is a aesthetically pleasing grow bag that will create quick and easy space in my yard for growing more vegetables.

I ordered one tomato bag and one potato bag. I received 2 potato bags and no tomato bag. So I can't comment on how good the tomato bag might be but I have used the potato bags for tomatoes and the plants are doing okay so far.

Plan to grow potatoes this summer

Who knew growing potatoes could be attractive. With extremely limited space (third floor apartment balcony) this grow bag is perfect. Easy to use. Adding the lightweight soil as the plants grow is great for an older gardener. No hauling heavy pots around or up stairs. The bag is still moveable when full. The color adds to the garden palette. My grandkids are fascinated by it!

I have been using one of these for growing potato for three years and decided to get another. The older one is getting a little flimsy and needs a stake to hold up one side. The new ones seems a little more robust and have handles to transport it.

Nothing tells you how much garden soil it holds so if you're going to shop for some Miracle Grow or the like to fill it you have to guess at how much to buy. Mine's about 2/3 full as I didn't buy enough but at that level it's hardly "portable" - it's far too heavy to move. The outside is already molding so it'll go in the garbage after I harvest my peppers.

Bag folds line tomato/potato plant...excellent size for mobility but could use some structural corner support.

I have not yet harvested the potatoes from these bags, but I'm hoping for good results.

I am trying these bags for my half high blueberry plants. The plants need protection in the winter from deer and rabbits and these bags will help me move them to a "protected" area. Your helpful garden experts did remind me that container plants are not as hardy as when planted in the ground so a sheltered winter site will be chosen. The bags will also allow me to control the pH of the soil easier - keeping it very acidic. The bags are heavy, but I have found that they easily fit on my hand truck for moving.

After the drought this summer, and a disaster of a garden, I saved as much as possible in large pots & buckets. I like that I can control watering, that it is portable if necessary & winter storage will be easy. Am thinking of what else I can put in it & how many more will be needed. Those who have seen it are interested.

Unfortunately I didn't get to use it this year but my sister has one and she loves it. her potatoes are really growing. I am anxious to see how her potatoes turn out.

I like that it is easily portable, especially if it is windy. I can move it to a protected spot. I used mine for blueberries, so we'll see how they hold through the winter.

Too early to know how well these work.
