Redwing Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I have just bought five planting bags from Ikea for growing salad potatoes and carrots in I know empty compost bags will do but these are so lovely! http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10153926 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I'm liking them! HOw big are they please? Will surplus rain drain through them okay? Might have to pop in tomorow and get some. I'm trying to plant in the front garden in pots and containers and leave the back garden for the girls to wreck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 They are quite big, they must be about 40-50cm across and the same high (they are still in the car so can't be sure!) there is a ring of plastic that slots in the top to make the top ridged which is handy They are not waterproof so I am guessing they will let the water drain ok but I will probably pierce a few holes in the bottom anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poachedegg Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Ooooh - I like the look of them. I checked the online availability though and out of stock and not known when they will be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I got some of those a couple of weeks ago. My vege plot is at the top of the garden, but I thought I would use those for growing some salad leaves in just outside the back door.

HENthusiastic Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 We didn't have time to go to Ikea in the end. Spent too long in costco. We are planning to go Wednesday evening instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 We didn't have time to go to Ikea in the end. Spent too long in costco. We are planning to go Wednesday evening instead. When I got them they were right at the end, by the tills, a total impulse buy , but they may have moved them to a more prominant position by now I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
