Grow-bags: Why grow-bags are ideal for load management and how to choose the right size.
"If the permanent bed is the scary, high-commitment marriage, then the grow-bag is the perfect, flexible friendship!
They’re ridiculously lightweight, distribute pressure evenly and great for your roof and offer instant portability to chase the sun or dodge the heat.
Now, let’s talk types! You've got the super popular HDPE sheet bags (those trays and trough-like beds seen in every video). They are the rugged standard. These do not breath but have holes to drain excess water.
However eep an eye on the newer range of grow bags made from Recycled PET felt cloth! They come in cool colors, are breathable (like terracotta, but more durable), and last ages.
But here’s the financial reality: while these are technically cheap to make, low sales volume, crazy transport distances, and trade margins mean they end up being relatively expensive.
Don't let that stop you! Consider it a necessary, smart investment in a movable farm, and whatever material you pick, do not skimp on size! The right size means less watering and a happier plant - your health and your ease depend on it!"
