Great video i must say
@akinsolaolayinka2105Hi great video! Very helpful. But is there drainage at the bottom of the bag?
@Kaiden-l4eHi - how often do they need watering? I want to plant now but I’m going away for 6 days. If I water well when planted will they be ok? I have a small greenhouse (gro zone)
@amylouiseterryFor supports, I tie a length of string to the middle of a twelve inch length of garden cane. I pass the string up through a hole in the bottom of the growbag until the cane is against the bottom of the bag. The string can then be tied taut to a support above the plants.
@vtechead1Ive always repotted my tomato plants and used canes but not any more. Im following your film to the letter. Thank you for the education.

@richardhardaker4586That was really helpful, but can you advise just how much feed to give them each, week etc, etc, and if you have to dilute it before you put it into your hose lock container.

@DomalonaconWhen watering do you water in to the pots or in to the bag.

Good luck planting

@355PHWhy not use the weight of the bag and wrap the strings under and then back to Itself?
Thx for the tips, yet think the roots need to be in the soil from day one for a good strong root base?
good stuff are you not going to put more great hints on.
