Gardener's Supply's grow bags come in all shapes and sizes.
If you are looking for an instant garden, consider a raised bed or grow bags.
Raised garden beds or grow bags can be placed wherever there’s sun. There’s no digging or need to kill the grass. Just place the bags or bed, fill with high quality planting mix and plant.
Landscape suppliers have bulk planting mixes or you can make your own. Here’s my recipe: mix one-half 2 cu. ft. bag of finely shredded bark with one 40-lb. bag of compost, mushroom compost or rotted manure and two 40-lb. bags of top soil.
Raised beds can be about any configuration, but they average depth is 6 to 10 inches. Kits made from recycled plastics, composite lumber, redwood, white cedar or other materials are available through online and catalog retailers. Some garden centers also may carry raised bed kits. Of course, you can design and build your own, too.
The beds are held together with braces, brackets or bolts. There’s one made of cedar with mortise and tenon construction. Some kit styles have trellises or a ledge for sitting to work in the bed. Some models have plastic toppers that turn the bed into a greenhouse. When built on supports, raised beds can be elevated to reduce bending over or to accommodate scooters or wheelchairs.
Weeding is reduced in raised beds. They also warm up faster in spring and drain better so planting can be done a couple of weeks earlier than traditional gardens.
Reusable grow bags are specially designed to accommodate various crops, such as herbs or potatoes, or generic. They have handles, which make them portable. Garden centers may have grow bags, which also can be found through online retailers or catalogs. Here are some sources:
