Yep! Grow Bags can be set up on any surface (concrete, grass, gravel, woodchips, etc.) as long as it's flat. Water does drain from the base of the Grow Bag, so make sure to place it somewhere that won't be an issue.
Nope! While the Grow Bag is a great lightweight option to set up a Subpod Mini, you can use them on their own purely as a garden.
We suggest using multiple Grow Bags, one with a Subpod Mini and a few as just gardens. You can spread the compost from your Mini across all your beds for a nutrient boost!
Absolutely. The fabric Grow Bags are made from is a polyester fiber derived from PET pellets (made from recycled PETE water bottles).
It's BPA free, non-toxic and heat-stable, so you don't have to worry about any nasties. It also means you can recycle your Grow Bag at the end of its' life!
We've tested Grow Bags under different conditions, and can happily say they have an average outdoor lifespan of 5 years!
That said, if you treat yours well they can last even longer. Don't go accidentally slicing them while you mow the lawn!
Not at all. They're made from porous material that drains water automatically!
If you're not planting a Subpod Mini in your Grow bag, you'll need 8 x 30L bag's worth of soil.
If you are planting a Subpod Mini in your Grow Bag, you only need the equivalent of 5 x 30L bags of soil.
