Grow Bags
(growing bags)Spent growing-bags can be used for a
catch crop of salad leaves at the end of the season. Culinary herbs such as basil, parsley and tarragon will grow well on a sunny windowsill.
Where to grow veg
(tubs, pots, seed trays, grow bags, window boxes, hanging baskets)You don`t need a large vegetable patch; any container can be used to sow seeds as long as it’s clean and has drainage holes (e.g. tubs,pots,
seed trays, grow bags, window boxes and hanging baskets).
If using a grow bag or window box you could sow a row each of spring onions, radishes, stunted carrots, pok choi and salad leaves.
In a large container at the same time you could grow: six runner
beans and then a quarter each with carrots, radishes, spring onions and salad leaves.
You can even grow vegetable in your flower garden: stunted carrots and fine leaf beetroots wouldn’t look out of place.
