I fill them with tomato potting mix (it is formulated for tomatoes and other veg, costs around $4 a bag). I like them because they're easier to move than pots, having handles. But you can buy tomato bags from nurseries and hardware garden centres, they're about $5 each. Or you can just buy a bag of tomato potting mix, poke holes around the base with a screwdriver for drainage and plant the tomatoes straight into the top of the bag. Once they're finished you can add the potting mix straight to the garden or into the compost - don't reuse it for tomatoes, best to always start with fresh soil/potting mix.Cath Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982092492622482815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-45472844680015732132015-11-09T09:18:43.673+11:002015-11-09T09:18:43.673+11:00What do tomato bags look like?

Would like to give this bag method a go-I have lots of concrete, if it would work on that. <br />Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-10598931370933062302015-11-09T09:10:20.621+11:002015-11-09T09:10:20.621+11:00You'll have to post some pictures so we can se...You'll have to post some pictures so we can see them.

The farm did too.<br />My tomatoes are doing well, I am excited to see about fifty baby tomatoes so far and loads of flowers. <br />Your card making afternoon sounds like so much fun. I regularly snoop in the news agents at cards for ideas and to see the prices. They arent getting any cheaper I can tell you that! ($12.50! for one I liked!) <br />Have a good new week. I am having a quiet and planning Sunday. I needed this! With love, Annabel.xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.com
