I've heard once you plant them, they are hard to get rid of (which I don't particularly mind if the birds like it). I read a review about how this lady purposefully got the sterile kind so it didn't propagate. After a year or so, she had them growing all over her yard and couldn't figure out why. She had moles. The moles were taking root cuttings and transplanting them all over the place.

Well i can grow them in buckets or even a raised bed. Not really worried. I did know there is a sterile variety.

Apparently the non-sterile varieties are quiet invasive. I'm planning on having it planted in several places where I can harvest it a few times a year for animal food and mulch to enrich the garden.

Ok I have all kinds of bags going right now.

My favorite ones are the Trader Joe’s bags.they hold their shape very well. They hold way more than a 5 gallon bucket of soil with several inches of head space at the top.

I have a few tractor supply and world market bags. They are bigger but more rectangular.
I don’t think I like them as much. Top doesn’t stay wide open. (Snipped lots of little drainage holes in these.)

The official grow bags I bought online are the black ones.
They are like a felt material.
The first ones I bought were a brand called *vivosun.
I chose the 7 gallon size.

Then when I got them I though I wanted even bigger ones, but when I went back to reorder they were sold out darnit.

So I ordered a brand called *growsun, in a 10 gallon size.

They are bigger in diameter but no taller and a much thinner “fabric”, is not nearly as thick or sturdy as the *vivosun brand.

I am happy so far with how things are growing. I planted 3.5 weeks ago.

I think my water useage will be much better than last summer because the water is going right where it needs to be instead down to the water table or to my neighbor’s dang trees.

Also I really like having everything in one spot!

And aside from a few errant weeds that came up in the load of soil I ordered, I’m not wasting time or resources weeding.

Wow, that's a really good idea.
Suggestion for your floppy bags openings.. Take a wire hanger and straighten it out. Cut a tiny hole in the top of the bag's edging and feed the wire in, cut off & patch/ sew the hole, then bend the wire so it is pushing out. It should keep the bag from flopping closed on you & be light enough that it doesn't weigh the top edge down.

Oooh. That’s a good idea.
When it stops raining I’ll go out and look to see if that would work.
