Peppers in bags

Heirloom gard · January 12, 2014

I got some burlap bags at a local coffie shop yesterday i was wondering if these can be used for one season to hold soil and grow sweet peppers. I know they are good for patatos but can you also do peppers.

From what I've been reading, burlap may not hold up for the whole season. Here's a quote from another gardener: "I tried experimenting with the burlap on a few plants last year and it didn't even make it through half the season before it completely disintegrated. "

You never know until you try. Why not check into fabric bags, like ones from W.M?

I tried growing peppers in 6 W.M. bags last year, and for the price of the bags, I was pleased with the peppers growth.

We were given a few more from a company, so we'll try those, too.
