How To Do Bag Gardening

Bag gardening is a simple and easy way to start gardening where you can turn any patch of grass into a garden by placing newspaper or cardboard on the grass, adding potting soil in a bag, and planting your plants in the bag.

To prepare the area for bag gardening, you can lay down newspaper or cardboard on the grass, wet it to kill the grass underneath, and attract worms. Alternatively, you can use a frame to hold the newspaper or cardboard in place.

For bag gardening, you will need newspaper or cardboard, a bag of potting soil, a knife or scissors to cut the bag, and something to make drainage holes in the bag, such as a pitchfork or a sharp object.

To create drainage in the bag for bag gardening, you can make holes in the bag using a pitchfork or another sharp object. This will allow excess water to drain out and prevent waterlogging.

You can protect the plants in bag gardening by placing plastic sheeting or a floating row cover over the bag. This will protect the plants from the weather and any potential pests or insects.
