This is an amazing and simple way to set up a new garden bed or even to have a little garden if you don’t have much space. Gardening in a bag of soil is not a new idea (I’ve seen people plant vegetables in a bag of dirt) but I’ve never seen it used in such large scale. Gardening in a bag of topsoil makes setting up a new garden bed so quick and easy!

I would definitely give this a try if I was setting up a new annual bed (at the very least the grass under the bags would be killed and the following season you could plant in the ground if you want). This is a great no-dig garden!
Supplies:
Bedding plants
Bags of topsoil or potting mix
Fertilizer
Mulch

May 17, 2014 at 3:00 pmGood idea – especially in areas where the soil is hard to dig, full of rock, etc.
Enjoy your weekend.

May 17, 2014 at 6:51 pmFantastic idea and so much easier than digging in hard soil. Ours is like a rock and have lot of alkali. Not easy to garden except in containers. You are always so full of great ideas, thanks for sharing this one. Happy weekend Pinning
