If you have little space in the greenhouse or conservatory, you can also plant vegetables in earth bags.
Soil diseases are prevented
Planting vegetables in sacks of earth has an even more decisive advantage: Soil diseases are prevented. It's very easy and very quick. We have written a small step-by-step guide for you here, so that you don't forget any important things when planting the earth bags.
Step by step instructions:
- Take a sack of earth, put it in the place where it will house the plants in the future and cut several holes in the top of the sack. The openings should be cut open in the shape of a slit, but it is also possible to cut lengthwise.
- The young plants are then planted and watered well, as is usual in the soil. Never put more than three plants in a sack, otherwise it will be too tight.
- Remember to cut slits at the ends of the sack to allow water to drain. If the slits are forgotten, the soil can become mouldy.
With such a ground bag, you can also vary the location of your vegetables and change them again and again. Tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini are suitable for this type of planting. Just try it yourself.
