Almost any growbag that you can buy for amateur use is best off used as a soil conditioner.... dis a trench big enough to fit the bag into , empty bag into trench create mound by covering back with some of the soil and plant into that... at the end of the season dig it out and put it in the same bit of the plot the spuds were in (groups the basically similar set of pests together)  THe issue with all small growbags is trying to maintain an even watering regime, problem goes away if it's grown in soil

I've found their grow bags incredibly inconsistent, even on the same pallet.  Their compost is the same. Total junk most of the time.

Thanks for the warning Uncle....I nearly ordered 20 of them mainly because they would deliver. Oh well back to the drawing board....always used B&Q growbags etc until this year (new stuff is rubbish) ::)
