Home Depot - Viagrow, Grow Bags are they any good?
Hello I have a really shady 20x40 1st garden this year. I'm thinking it might get about 6 hours of full sun. Mostly morning and early afternoon. By 4pm the sun goes behind more trees. I can remove more of the trees but my girl is really starting to get mad at me.
Let me tell you I am really tired at this point between dropping about 11 tress so far and i have at least another 15 more in the way for maybe 2 more hours of sun. Its the only flat spot of ground we have except a narrow strip down back. Anyway im thinking about calling that spot a bust for the year. Maybe I can find some things to plant in it that don't require so much sun. (IDK) So in the meantime I have been looking for a way to save my garden this year. I was thinking about grow bags to save on my budget some as i have already spent quite a bit on other stuff. So i was wondering what kind of results could I expect out of the home depot grow bags. --- Viagrow - 5 Gal. Nursery Grow Bags (25-Pack) $12.97 Viagrow - 10 Gal. Plastic Grow Bag (25-Pack) $17.97 Now I have three sources of potting mix available to me. --- Miracle-Gro Potting Mix 50 Qt. $12.97 Pro Mix Bx 3.8 Cu. Ft. $36.99 Wonder Soil 2.5 Cu. Ft. $18.99 So i am just trying to find an affordable solution to save my 2016 season. Let me post some pictures of my 20x40 and some spots out back. I have a lot more questions. I have all kinds of projects going on as related to my wanna be 2016 garden. Maybe I can keep them contained in this post. Thanks in advance for any of your time Billy |
