In the T & M seed catalogue, they sell "flower pouches" - 3 pouches for $11.00 This strikes me as rather expensive for vinyl and some water retaining gel.
Has anyone used these before? Is it possible to create your own? (My husband has a roll of extra heavy vinyl drop sheet.
I am going to post this to few forums - so please excuse the cross-listing. :-)
making flower pouches
I suppose anything is possible. The issues would be how you intend to hold the pouch together and if the material you are using will be strong enough to support the weight of the soil and plants when watered. I think I remember seeing something in one of the catalogs where it was advertised that the pouches would not stretch. That may become an issue with homemade.
Are these the kind you're talking about? I think by the time you added shipping, it would be around $1.70 a bag. I'd rather do that than make them.

Yup, that one looks like a winner.
You are right! This is a much better deal :-) I didn't know they were available anywhere else.
Thanks!
Have you checked the container forum? I think I saw a thread on these....I'll go look and see if I can find it.
I found it and saw you had already posted on it lol! Here it is for anyone else interested http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/688810/.
Thanks, princess! I had bookmarked the link in my post above, but couldn't remember where the thread was that it came from. We need to thank MsKatt for finding those to begin with.
You're welcome. I had remember reading about it last week and thinking where could I hang some lol....like I need more plants or something!
