I'm wondering how many people are actually isolating in their homes and not going to stores or going out in public...

Hopefully everyone but realistically probably not haha

Oh wow that’s amazing!!! I kind of want to try those but at the same time I feel like maybe I should just do buckets but idk. But we don’t have that many buckets and some of the ones we do have have big holes for food cut in them so I’d have to go buy some. Ordering online is probably safest. I really want to do lettuce again this year haha

Do a google or YT search on "growing vegetables in walmart fabric bags."

...you're welcome.

yeah and that's the sad part about the whole entire thing because that's what we were asked to do.

I don't understand why people have to go anywhere, it makes me feel like their house isn't a home, it's just a house and nothing more.

I have heard several people say that they are getting tired of their family because they have to be with them every single day with this lockdown. That part is really sad to me that people can't even handle their own family.

I did buy a bunch of candy canes at Christmas time and I ate about five of them and got super sick so I threw them all out That's when I realized that I'm going to cut back on sugar and I haven't really eaten much sugar lately.

The only sugary type thing that I have in my day is a glass of crystal light. other than that I have been pretty much staying away from sugar and I stay away from salt too.

Crystal light is sugar free......I can drink it as being a diabetic sugar free is needed for me.



Another grow bag option.......used feed bags. They take a lot of dirt but can be rolled down or cut down to be the right size for the plants.

It still has aspartame though, which is still a sugar like substance to me.

Re those "dirt bag" planters

I have a number of them but they didn't work for me in our hot dry climate. For a while I tried hand watering. Sometimes multiple times a day but I gave up and put them away.

There's a nursery here, tho, that's had a blueberry bush growing in one since 2012. The bag is huge and blueberry even bigger. Maybe 4' in diameter and 3' from the dirt level up. It's cool because certain times you can go and pick a few blueberries;

It was the inspiration for me putting in a small hedge of blueberries on a berm in my backyard. I'm still waiting for mine to achieve that size but I've got a generous crop of greenies out there now.

Like I told KDog, try a walmart fabric bag search. You set them up in a self watering system...aka kiddi pool, and some people swear by them. At a buck a piece it isn;t a bad way to go....or really...anything than can hold dirt.

I got 5 of them for $17.99 on Amazon. They are 5 gallon and I swear by them. I have grown a lot of things in them and the plants seem to grow way better than they would in the ground due to the air flow that they get.

We have bad soil for planting because it's red clay. We have to either do buckets, fabric pots, or above ground garden boxes.

And I definitely stocked up on Crystal Light I have so many different flavors because we go through about a gallon every other day.

We did try Kool-Aid and a couple other things, they were so disgusting I couldn't handle them
