DIY Saturday: How To Make A Garden In A Bag Of Soil

By Manuela Williams

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

Directions:

Have a great weekend!

    That is pretty amazing, Manuela! I wish I had seen this idea years ago when I first did all my beds! I am going to pass this idea onto my daughter. She has some beds she wants to do.

    What a great idea! Especially if you have hard to dig in, clay soil!

    Good idea – especially in areas where the soil is hard to dig, full of rock, etc.
    Enjoy your weekend.

    Fantastic 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

      Yes, I’m going to try it next time I have a new garden bed to set up.

    This is an incredible idea. I would never think of this and how easy and clever.
