The Dog Food Small Bag & a Note Regarding This Blog

In a previous post, I mentioned the use of a dog food bag (a small one) as a garden plant container; the bag should have a mylar lining, some other waterproof lining, or be made entirely of a waterproof substance.  I now can report that such a bag (3.5 to 5.0 pounds of food, or so) works very well, especially for garlic or tomatoes.  Punch holes in the bottom for drainage, fill the bag to about 2 inches from the top with potting soil & a little mulch, and place it in the bottom half of a gallon milk jug for secondary containment (to catch excess drainage).  The 3.5 pound size fits perfectly into the bottom half of a milk jug.  For larger bags, you'll have to find some other secondary containment.  That setup gives you some nice container depth for a transplanted seedling.  For garlic, I think it may work as the final container...am running a test to see if that might be true for tomatoes as well.

IMPORTANT note regarding this particular blog---
We've been up & running here for about a month and a half.  This is the seventeenth post, and thus far, there has been very little interest.  Consequently, I'm forced to cut way back on posting here...just don't have the time for something that appears to be going nowhere.  I'll still do it now & again, and I thank all of you from North America and Europe (primarily) who have been visiting.

Within a week or so, I'll be posting a video on my YouTube Channel showing more plant containers (& their residents:)...including a few dog food or dog biscuit bags.  Will let you know with a link.

Happy Trails, and Be Well
