Last week at EatDrinkBetter.com, I talked about various alternatives to in-ground gardens, including Bag Gardens:
Bag Gardens - The most common method is to place two X-shaped slits in the top of a new bag of soil, pop in seeds or seedlings, and cover the bag with mulch. Of late I’m more intrigued with the newer concept promoted by Send a Cow, a British charity similar to Heifer International. The non-profit teaches people in Africa and the United Kingdom to create bag gardens from burlap sacks, soil and salvage items. They also sell Bag Garden kits…an idea that would be great to see pop up on this side of the pond, especially since burlap is biodegradable whereas plastic is not.Just wanted to add another option to the table: Potato Bins.
They're on sale at Gardener's Supply Company, and I just received my first one. Online response is favorable, and they can be used for two growing seasons. Am looking forward to trying mine, as potatoes can be an essential, calorie-rich vegetable.
But what sort of spud should I grow? Or should I go with the yam?
