I thought this is pretty cool...

From the 2008 Farmer's Almanac:

Anyone can turn an ordinary bag of potting soil into a "grow bag". Lay the bag of soil flat. Poke a few drainage holes in the top surface, roll the bag over. Cut a few holes in the new top surface. Insert seedlings into the holes. Water and fertilize as you would a bed. For best results, set this sack into a wheel barrow or child's wagon and move it into and out of the sunlight as needed..

I think I'm gonna try this.

I have done this. It takes a little while for the top of the bag to disappear but when it does it's very pretty. I have planted pansies and impatiens this way.

That is a really neat idea!!! I am definitely going to give it a try this season, I love the wheel barrow idea...mmmm note to self find old wheel barrow..

I love that idea, I might try that too.

I believe it will work, because at Lowes when we go get dirt and stuff there are bags of dirt with plants growing out of them. Its the funniest thing to see.
