IT'S IN THE BAG

Growbags allow you to grow as much fruit and veg as possible a small space

- DAVID DOMONEY

ORIGINALLY introduced in the Seventies, growbags were a gardening revolution. Designed as a solution to combat the build-up of pests in greenhouse soil, they have changed the way we garden under glass.

Thanks to their affordability, they have become increasingly popular in recent years. They're super for growing in greenhouses, but their manoeuvrability makes them flexible gardening options for outdoor gardening spaces; even balconies.

Choose plants with shallow root structures for growbags, as they aren't particularly deep if you want to grow several. Some great choices include tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines, radishes, spring onions and courgettes.

You can also grow salad crops like lettuce and spinach.
