Potato Growing Bags
 
Does anyone know where I can buy (online) those black plastic bags for
growing potatoes?

Also, does anyone know where I can buy (online) those large blue barrels for
growing strawberries?

Thanks.

Well, after an absence of several months due to the constant slanging
matches in urg, I ventured back to the group. I shouldn't have bothered.

FYI, I spent about 3 hours googling with no luck whatsoever, hence my
posting here.

Don't bother responding as I won't be around to see it.

Oh Susan, but did you not see Paul's answer?

He is no friend of mine, and as I've never met him I wouldn't bother to ask
him/her!

Can't help with the bags but on the Giveaways page in the newest GW
magazine they had some plastic bin-things, marketed for the purpose,
which sell at £14.99 for 3. It gave a website; Haxnicks or somesuch.

Having mentioned Haxnicks and GW Giveaways, I looked at the above
link, and the tubs I mentioned are there, cheaper than on the
aforementioned website. They are not bags but plastic buckets.

The Marshall's veg catalogue has yellowish bags, like shopping bags
with holes!

In respect of the original poster I think you are wasting your time as
she has declared, as there were no answers that suited her, she was
leaving, never to return (again?). However I am sure that there will be
other readers who welcome the efforts of posters to solve the original
question.

If ordinary bin bags will do, you can get them a lot cheaper than that.

If they are not strong enough on their own you could use two, or more,
inside each other.

I've ventured back to thank those of you who replied with helpful
suggestions. Many thanks. After extensive searching I discovered that the
bags are called "poly bags" so that made it easier to find them. However, a
search for "big blue strawberry barrel" still doesn't turn up anything.

Best Regards.

If you think more laterally and enter

you get

So it's not rocket science after all is it!
