How To Plant A Growbag

First roll the growbag on the ground to break up the compost inside and disperse
any large clods. This will enable the tomato roots to penetrate the entire bag

Take three large pots about 20cm (8in) in diameter and remove the bases with a
hacksaw to allow the roots of your tomatoes to break out into the growbag compost

Sit the pots on top of the bag and, holding each one firmly in place, cut around the
base with a knife. A standard growbag should hold around three pots like this

Remove the polythene from beneath the pots, push the bases into the compost and put some extra compost into the bottom of the pots to raise up the rootballs

Remove the plants from their original pots – the roots should be well established by now. Put the rootball into the new pot and fill around it with compost

Firm the compost around the rootballs and water the plants in well. Tie the
tomatoes to supports where required. Bamboo canes or string work well for vine tomatoes
