Key insights about video Balcony vegetable gardening with grow bags made from landscape cloth and glue gun

👀 The experiments in this video are about using landscape cloth to make self-watering grow bags.

🌱 The idea for using grow bags came from Larry Hall's channel, where he demonstrates using Walmart bags and grow bags to grow vegetables.

🛍️ Larry Hall used a Mason grow bag made from landscape cloth and sealed the seams with a food storage bag sealer.

❗ If you don't have a food storage bag sealer, you can use a hot glue gun to seal the seams of landscape cloth to make your own grow bags.

🔥 It's important to use low temperature glue sticks and a small glue gun to prevent the hot glue from creating holes in the thin landscape cloth.

💦 To reduce the chances of melting the cloth, it can be placed on a damp cloth while applying the hot glue.

👌 Using a very small and uniform amount of hot glue is key, and pressing the glue down with a heavy duty plastic or spatula helps secure it.

🧊 The hot glue cools quickly and holds well when applied properly.

❄️ To avoid any potential separation or stress on the seams, it's best to keep the seams of the finished grow bags out of direct sun and prevent freezing.

📏 A roll of cloth measuring about two feet by three feet can make approximately fifty gallon-sized grow bags.
