Down to my last Walmart bags
 

I'm really not looking forward to next year as this will be the last year I'll have enough 7 gallon blue Walmart bags, since they stopped selling those .50 reusable shopping bags that made a fantastic grow bag. So anyone know of a low cost grow bag? I really don't want to go bigger than 7 or smaller than 3 gallon since the area I have to grow in just doesn't have a lot of room, this pic shows the limited room I have. Any ideas on grow bags would be welcome. Yes for those wondering I do reuse the bags but 2yrs of use is about all the life I can get out of the Walmart bags. Thanks for any ideas on grow bags.

Great use for Walmart bags! I don't ever remember seeing these in our store. Aldi might have something similar but I'll have to check the next time I go.

Do you mean these bags?

What a great idea! Can't beat that price.

Try visiting larger trade shows/conventions in your area. The exhibitors many times have bags available for their giveaway stuff. May not be the sizes you want but they are always free with a little conversation...

Root Pouches last a long time. I still have some of the brown (the best quality ones) from 2012. I then started buying the grey that last 3-4 years and I'm on year 4 wth some of them. In my hot/humid climate they get super gross though. When they wear out, it is my fault by grabbing them by the side vs the handles. I've even doubled up on 2 of the torn.

I did a few Walmart bags like you and would go to the Dollar Tree and get the laundry baskets to hold them upright. The Walmart bags lasted 2 seasons but the laundry basket was good for just one season.

Many thanks to imp I went to the Walmart he recommended, the bags were indeed available that they told me would be discontinued last year. I picked up 20 bags so I'll be set for a while, and yes there still only .50 a bag.

Jetstar, I know Imp helped you out but I would like to recommend the place I get my bags from, [URL="https://www.247garden.com/"]247garden.com[/URL].
The prices are great and the quality is pretty good.

Also, for those in the Los Angeles area, their warehouse is 10 miles east of downtown and have a will-call option to save on shipping.

Thanks shatbox nice site for grow bags and good prices... I'm set for now but I'll definitely give them a try in the future.

Im on my 3rd year of using these grow bags, and really really like them. I dont use any bigger than 7 gallons; they get too heavy for me to move, but they have really sturdy handles and I havent broken one yet. They are cheap enough for me.

Check your local Goodwill for bags, they have inventory that constantly rotates.

Does anyone know the volume of these bags?
