Hylong Growing Bags (3-Pack) - 78L Potato & Tomato Planter - Soft-sided Reusable Grow Bags

I've rescued some last year xmas trees that nobody wanted and the garden centre wanted to dispose of. They looked sad and dire when I got them. Proper pots would have cost a fortune and had watched a YT video of some tree expert saying that these are the best to keep trees in. Seem very good quality, have had them out in lots of rain and nasty weather and they are standing strong. I've had them on concrete first but moved them onto pebble so excess water can drain off. Most importantly, the trees are loving the space and have recovered nicely from being pot bound for so long. All in all an affordable solution to have some bigger plants out in the garden. Have purchased a couple more mini trees, excited to see them grow.

Strong and well made. Haven't planted anything yet but quality product.

amazing pots however I would highly recommend washing these before planting any plants for food source due to chemical washing liquid smell upon washing these in the bath there was heavy soap suds residue.Apart from that these are perfect for blueberry bushes and other fruit trees.

I have found an enjoyment in growing veg over the last year or so, and as the wife has taken all of the garden for various flowers, shrubs, bushes etc, I had to find a solution until a plot becomes available on the allotments near me.To be clear, I am no great gardener, just someone in the early stages of learning and passing on my experiences to others in my position.This is the ideal solution I was advised, and so far I am inclined to agree.These growing bags are made of a sort of fabric so they won't hold all the water in the ground and allows excess to drain away.This has also proven educational in just how much moisture your soil (compost in my case) can hold, which is more than I expected.I am using these to grow potatoes (more depth and space is key so I went for the biggest I could find) and some smaller ones to grow tomatoes (way better than flat growbags).The one thing I will advise anyone looking to buy these is the sheer volume of compost/soil they can hold!I have just earthed up my potatoes for the 3rd time and the bags are now full to the top.That has taken some 160 litres+ of compost to achieve, which means 2 things....1. Be careful where you place because when full with compost (and water) it is seriously heavy!You are going to need to empty it eventually to get at the fruits, well vegetables, of your labour.I recommend a flat surface where you can spread out a tarpaulin (ground) sheet and empty on to there when the time comes.2. It can get quite expensive when you are filling 3 bags with compost if you do not have your own supply to hand and instead are buying it (especially peat free organic stuff).On the other hand, it is tremendously satisfying growing your own fruit and veg (homegrown is just so much nicer too) and these bags can be used many times over.In short, they are highly recommended!Thanks for reading and I hope it was useful

These bags are big, no doubt, so take a fair bit of compost. I was very surprised by the detail and quality of production for the price and they’ve proved durable thus far. One plus is that you don’t need to fill to the top. I find a few inches of gap protect tender beans from the wind.

I bought these last year, ( just to note, it was the version that is dark and without the side flap, as pictured in the reviewer images) They are very strong and durable, I left a couple of them outside for over a year now ( as they're still full of soil) I just didn't get around to growing this year so I covered them over) and they're still in very good condition last time I checked. These were great when I grew potatoes in them and I look forward to doing that again next year! They're strong and durable and were ideal for growing potatoes on my patio. I think the flapped version would be even easier to use.

Received these, label says 60L. They are ok, very cheaply made, no idea how long they will last and I wouldn't try to move them once full suspect the handles will not last.Good enough for some temporary tree and shrub storage whilst landscaping is done. Will probably just use them as garden/ leaf bags after that.

Bought these to grow some spudsThese are ideal for filling with compost
