cricketstomato mentioned this item on the container gardening forum. i asked for anyone with experience with this bags to let me know how they like them. thought i'd put it on this forum to get more exposure. wqould like to know if, when the bags are filled if its possible to move them around by picking them up. thanks .

Herbie --- I used the grow bags last season. I bought the five gal. and two gal. size for growing plants and tomatoes on a large concrete patio. I was quite pleased with the results and you can move them as they are very strong. However I bought the plant trollies that are sold at Lowes and Home Depot thus making it unecessary to lift. I think they are great and a lot cheaper than pots! Also purchased the bags that you hang on the wall or a tree or wherever, the ones with the ten holes in them for inserting plants but didn't have any luck with those. Could never get enough water to the lower plants.

I got the 5gal bags to hold roses temporarily this spring. If you carry them around too much they start to stretch out and tear at the top so a dolly is a good idea. I got 2gal bags too, they aren't heavy enough (when filled) to stretch the thick plastic. I got them from http://www.homegrownhydro.com and was very happy with them.
