I've used plastic growbags for greenhouse peppers. They were
empty--I filled them with my own medium--and open at the top. They had numerous
drainage holes on the lower sides as well as the bottom. They were also black. I
used spaghetti tubes and small spray stakes to irrigate them.
I used them because I was trialing various nutrient mixes that
could be certified as organic; my control was a well-known greenhouse synthetic.
Overall, I really liked the bags. Despite the black, they did not overheat--but
they were open at the top. I kept the greenhouse at a maximum of 85F, too. I did
this work because I was looking for a cost-effective, certifiable way to
escape the build-up of pathogens in greenhouse soils, and bags are a very good
option.
Unfortunately, I forget the supplier of the bags--this was a
few years ago. However, I know that I found the source by calling Griffith or
Charley's and asking about sources. One of these companies gave me information
about manufacturers. You might try doing the same.
