Default home made grow bags using tesco carrier bags.

we have a small garden with a small patio. we were recently given some
japanese
cucumbers which we put in a B&Q growbag. the slugs had a field day. so I
decided to move the grow bag around the patio to try and confuse the slugs.
it is not easy to move ,so i cut it in two pieces and sewed up the cut ends
with pins.

now it strikes me (a novice) that it might be easier to move if i made my
own grow bags using tesco plastic carrier bags. [ one plant for each carrier
bag ] they certainly would be easier to move around.

any suggestions as to how to make my own grow bag? the B and Q one looks
to consist of mainly peat type compost, but i guess there are other
ingredients in their as well for nutrition for the plants? any suggestions
on what to put in the carrier bags please. thanks.
