Re: For those who like lettuce!


Howdy Mate,

Great idea you blokes have that us yanks never caught on to.  Lived in
Brackley for a while (91-92) and saw the grow bags in garden centers.  If you
stop and think of it, a grow bag is nothing more than a 2 X 3 portable square
foot garden.  Totally recyclable too.

American translation.  Get a big bag of potting soil, put the bag on the
patio and plant right in the bag by making a slit or hole in it.  Just add
water and watch it grow.  At seasons end, add the bag contents to the compost
pile.

This is a great idea for people who can't bend over (ie handicapped, bad
back, senior citizens etc).  Get an old table and put the bag on it, water,
plant and enjoy.

Have a pint of bitter for me next time you're in the pub.
