Default Planting Bags

Hello Group!

This is my first post!

I'm new to gardening and have only had one season trying to get my lawn to look good again and a tobacco season, under my belt.

I've planted some tomatoes and sweetcorn and they have sprouted.

I'm planning on putting them into Planting Bags. But i've heard lots about root space and depth and how plants need to spread their feet. Certainly tobacco needs a good 30cm at least to root.

So i'm wondering if 5cm thick bags of soil are going to do the trick? Or should I take several of them, cut out the tops and bottoms and stack them together, making a kind of planter? If I had three of them on top of each other, that would provide a really deep bed of earth to root into.

What do you think about my idea?

Bman
