Planter Bag

• Planter bags originated from commercial nursery production where air pruning prevents root circling. This technology has been adapted for home gardeners seeking healthier plant growth.
• The breathable fabric allows excess moisture to evaporate while maintaining optimal soil aeration. Roots that reach the fabric are naturally pruned by air exposure, promoting fibrous root development.
• Gardeners love planter bags for their portability and space efficiency. They're perfect for renters, small spaces, and seasonal crop rotation without permanent garden bed commitment.

• Check soil moisture daily by inserting finger 2cm deep, water when dry as bags drain faster than pots. Deep water until it drains from bottom.
• Position according to plant requirements - full sun vegetables need 6+ hours direct light, shade plants prefer morning sun only. Move bags seasonally if needed.
• Fill with premium potting mix containing slow-release fertiliser and good drainage components. Never use heavy garden soil which compacts in containers.
• Apply liquid fertiliser fortnightly during active growing season as nutrients wash through faster. Reduce feeding in winter months.
• Replace or refresh potting mix annually to maintain soil structure and fertility. Clean bags between plantings to prevent disease buildup.
• Group bags together during extreme heat to reduce evaporation and create beneficial microclimate for plants.

• Position in location receiving appropriate light for your chosen plants, with easy access to water sources. Most vegetables and herbs need 6+ hours direct sunlight daily.
• Water more frequently than ground plantings as fabric bags dry out faster. Check soil moisture daily during hot weather by inserting finger 2cm deep.
• Use quality potting mix rather than garden soil for better drainage and nutrition. Fill bags leaving 5cm from top to prevent overflow when watering.
• Feed plants regularly with liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks during growing season as nutrients leach out faster than garden beds.

• Fabric degradation from UV exposure can weaken the bag over time. Choose UV-resistant materials and position in partial shade when possible. Replace bags every 2-3 years for optimal performance.
• Poor drainage leading to waterlogged soil and root rot. Ensure drainage holes aren't blocked and use well-draining potting mix. Elevate bags slightly off ground surfaces.
• Rapid soil drying in hot weather causing plant stress. Mulch the surface and consider drip irrigation for consistent moisture. Group bags together to reduce evaporation.
