It gets really expensive to fill 10 and 20 gallon containers for one plant. We have been growing indeterminate tomatoes in 7 gallon fabric bags for 8 years and before that 5 gallon buckets with high yields and healthy 7-8 foot plants. Peppers 2 plants to a 7 gallon same thing. We quit growing our tomatoes and peppers in ground after discovering the grow bags and wish we would of had them 25 years ago. Maybe zone 5b makes the difference. I would encourage those on a budget to do the best they can with what they can afford. We have 7 foot tall elderberry bushes in 10 gallon grow bags.... more berries then we know what to do with! Just sayin. Happy Gardening!
That works. I grew in beefsteaks in 5 gallon buckets for years but I am guessing you have a lot of experience and really have the watering and feeding down. I also make my container mix from yard earth scraps and peat moss. Big money saver. No worries.

Oh thank you this is my first year in fabric IAM in a city and soil is lead , I was getting nerviou with 20 bags .. I have 60 5 7 and 10 a lot of dirt , at first soil was too heavy and I lost all my plants to root rot , added a lot of spagnum and they are just thriving ..
Yes, me too. 5-7 gal.
Plants get huge.
Nice thing about grow bags is emptying the bag to save the soul for next year
I really appreciate your comment as I am on a strict budget. Thanks!

I started using fabric pots last year for the first time and I am hooked!! There's still a time and place for a traditional pot (for aesthetic reasons like on the front porch), but I have bought so many fabric pots, that my garden has more of them than anything else.
I really like them. So much we started selling them. My pots are on year 2 outside.

Awesome timing. I just planted potatoes in one of your 100 gallon pouches. And miniature eggplants in your 10 gallon pouches. I agree, the 10 gallon is just a great size and so easy to fill and maneuver.

I've placed my grow bags in portable dog baths! They are like kiddy pools, but they're collapsible, more space-efficient due to having vertical walls, and fold up into a very small package.
I love the built-in drain, and that you can buy them in varying sizes from around 30 inch to 80 inch diameter.
This is my first year gardening and it's been a massive learning experience, with many wins and losses already. Thank you again Gary for your amazing work in bringing us this great channel!

I wish I had seen this type of content last year about this time. I ordered 5 and 7 gallon grow bags and did okay growing cucumber and kajari melons on the east side of our shed where they got some afternoon shade, but the grow bags on the south side of our house got so much sun that even the herbs like basil and thyme did not do well. I purchased the green colored ones thinking that they wouldn't get hot in the sun, but there just simply wasn't enough soil to keep the roots from drying out. I'm using those bags this year to do more temporary starting like my strawberry bare root plants and smaller blackberry plants that don't have a permanent home, yet. The key is afternoon shade for the grow bag if someone can't water twice a day in the heat of summer.
Great tip on afternoon shade. I hope it helps a few people

Perfectly timed video, as I have replaced a lot of my plastic containers with 12 of your fabric pots, 5 and 10 gallon. I have been debating how many pole beans to plant in a 10 gallon, and you answered my question. Can't pack them in like the peas. Thanks!
If you have a couple... experiment. That is the best way to figure it out as are gardens and temps vary. Thanks for the purchase.

I live in south Florida by the ocean on the 11th floor., therefore I have to keep my plants short up to 6 feet. I grow mostly in fabric pots. Cucumbers in 3 gal, Tomatoes in 2 or 3 gal, Peppers in 2 gal fabric pot. I trim the top when they get to the size I want. All are doing fine with a good yield. I keep saucers under to fabric pots, water in the morning and evening. So far so good.
You know what you are doing and have a great system. Nice work

which size would be good for growing beets and if carrots are suitable to seed in those bags? Thank you :-)
This is my first year gardening and I am learning so much from you. Your channel has become my go to resource and I just ordered your book. What about strawberries? I think I need to repot mine I did not use much soil. Did not think much about the watering issue but I am already learning after the last few hot days.
Congrats on your first year Very glad to help and thanks for the support. They would do better with more soil. They will produce bigger strawberries. But you can get by growing strawberries in shallow flower boxes.

Hi Gary so nice to see grow pots. :) This year I am trying out a smaller spaghetti squash variety called Small Wonder, it produces hard-shelled squash that are about a kilogram in size and about fifteen cm long by about twelve cm in diameter. Last year I pciked up some grow pots that are much taller than they are around, they are 26 L / 7 gallons. I'm going to try out one of these Small Wonders in that kind of pot and see how it does, usually I reserve it for patio sized cuke plants. ANYways, just wondering if you've got thoughts on when tall, narrower pots are appropriate, and when they may not be. :) Thanks for your super helpful content, even though I'm on the West Coast I continue to get a lot from your channel!
Thanks for info, I started grow bags as a new gardner
Good luck.

overall good video but I have had some different experiences in my garden. I grow exclusively out of grow bags and utilize a drip system with .5GPH drippers in all bags. I have 3 categories of growbags. standalone grow bags are my first category. these are all 15 gallon grow bags and I find them sufficient for anything I'm trying from indeterminate tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant etc... I can put 2 indeterminate tomatoes in a stand alone 15 gallon pot and get great growth and production. I used 12 of these 15 gallon grow bags last year and I'm expanding to 18 this season. the next category are potato bags (for all root veg). these are 10 gallon tall bags that I fold over in half when I begin and as I hill them I unfold them to full height. I have roughly 30 of these. lastly are my trellis grow bags. these are 7 gallon grow bags that I line up on drip lines along a tall trellis for pole beans, cucumbers and such. I find these work well with 1 to 2 plants per bag. this year I will be attempting to grow tromboncino squash and black futsu in the 7 gallon grow bags along the trellis. I know I'm pushing it with the 7 gallon bags for trellising squash as I have had drying failures in 7 gallon bags as stand alone, but I fing that not only do the bags allow roots to grow through the bottom, when lined up in a row touching the roots will also grow into adjacent growbags so I'm hoping the 7 gallons will work for squash in this arrangement. we will see. I don't like to have different size bags in a row because it causes the water to run down the drip line as opposed to dripping off it. I'm in zone 7b as well in MD too. funny story: I once tried okra in 3 gallon pots and they actually grew to about 4-5 feet tall and produced a decent crop, but the taproots were so long the bent at the bottom of the pots. getting the dead ones out was quite the challenge as they sent so many roots through the bags into the soil below. a good point to remember on all these is that I use a drip system on a timer and really slow drippers that will run for 2 hours overnight to get a deep watering down to the root zone in a 14.5 inch tall 15 gallon grow bag.
Okra has a crazy roots system. Great for loosening clay soil btw. You have a great system set up and experience with a drip system. That is a game changer in my opinion. Thanks for the info.

I'm growing Cherokee Purple, Brandywine Pink, and Black Krim, all in 15-gallon grow bags. I have Super Sweet 100's and Sungold cherry tomatoes in 10 gallon fabric grow bags and also bush Early Girl and Better Boy in 10 gallon grow bags. This is my first year using grow bags, so I'm anxious to see how things turn out. I did order some 20 gallon bags for next year. I live south of Seattle in zone 8b.
That is great for the tomatoes. Full size and mid summer, they will need more watering. For peppers, you can fit 2 or 3 in a 10 gallon bag if you want to experiment.

Love to watch your videos with all your experiments growing in different sizes of pots/grow bag.. What about beets? I have seen another youtuber who plants beets in any small place she could find and they grew so well even in small pouches. I would think since any plants with no long roots will do well in 5 Gal pots?
I would agree with that. I have even grown them in shallower flower boxes

In a 20 gallon grow bag you can aslo grow corn atleast 6 stalks.
You can. The key for corn is every silk has to be pollinated from the tassle. So when you have fewer stalks you might have to hand pollinate them.

Hi Gary ..very helpful tips , I’m new on planting and growing..I have a small area up my roof and I would love to start growing my food on it ..and I was just wandering about the size of the pots that I should have 😃..looking forward to see your other videos..any tips for growing veggies and herbs on the roof?
I would to with 20 gallon size. A lot easier on watering and you can still move them easily. You can go larger but just depends on how big you want them.

I wished I had seen this video sooner ! I literally JUST put my squash and cucumber Seedlings in 10 gallon pots ! Hopefully they do okay and I'll know better next year!
Me too!
I did a zucchini in a 10 gal before and did pretty good.
Okay good to know ! Cause filling up all those things was some hard work ! Lol
I’ve been binge watching container videos and many successfully grow cucumbers, zucchini and tomatoes in 5,7 gallons. This is what I’ve used and doing again this year. I don’t have as much space but I believe I’ll be just ass successful
I grew white scallop, green and yellow zucchini all in 5 gallon last year and they did great, the scallop particularly. I did determinate tomatoes in 5 gallon as well and they did fine. I just bought 15 gallon containers and I'm going to grow a few squash in some in addition to the 5 gallon, to see the actual difference. But for indeterminate tomatoes, yes, 10g minimum is true.
They need to get in bigger containers to stretch their legs. I didn’t realize you would need such a large container bag (20 lb bag) for zucchini and cucumbers. Your garden always looks great. Excellent video!
Thanks. Like I said you can push the 10. gallons but 20 gallons will make you happy in the long run

I have 7,10 and 15 gallon containers. I was just using 15 gal. figuring I could just put more of something in them. BUT I found that the 15 gallon container takes so much soil, space and is heavy if you have to move them around. So I decided to mix it up this year.
My real question is that plants have basically two types of root system. One is tap root, which need to grow deep and the other type of root grows out and not so deep so needs a wider container.
In my 15 gal. container I easily grew two determinant tomatoes and grew one Indeterminate tomatoes. I grew lettuce and spinach in the 15’s. They do make a container that looks like a wider and not round container. Haven’t tried those. They look like your Metal water troughs type containers.
You are right. Flatter and wider are great for lettuce and shallow roots.

First time growing tomatoes. I picked up ‘Juliet’ type. Based in some other videos I had planned to grow them in 5 gallon containers. I don’t know if they are determinate or indeterminate. Which size container would you recommend for these Juliets.
I have found your videos very helpful and oddly enough relaxing too. Thx for making this content.
They get big and are a great tomato. I would go with a 20 gallon. Lots of production on those. They are indeterminates

I put 2 '' of rocks in kiddy pools and make holes on the side about 1 1/2 '' from the bottom and I have no water issues except filling the bottom of the pool
That is a good way to do it.

Hello Gary. I am growing hot cherry peppers, greek and italian pepperoncinis as well as some big thai hybrids. I was going to use 5 gallon fabric pots but as I was doing research I found a few opinions that said the cherry and pepperoncini need at least a 10 gallon pot. What would your advice be?
Thanks so much for this information! Just started growing in these and LOVE them! Is it ever too late to transfer to a larger pot (no flowers or fruit yet) for those that chose the wrong size? (asking for a friend)
Yep you can transfer them. These are guidelines though. They plants might survive in smaller pots but you just have to stay up on watering and feeding.

Thanks Gary! I love watching ur vids. Ur so very thorough and that's the language I speak. I have ADHD and I forget a lot of stuff, all of the time. So, I appreciate u n ur way(s)!
I don't have any official "grow pots" however, I have used those soft material storage boxes that r very close to "grow pots"- whats ur feeling on those? I have not worked in a over a year so $$$ is not a tree I've learned how to grow yet!
Also, can u do a video on how to tell seedlings 🌱 apart? Identifying seedlings for dummies? If ur a ding dong like me
So seedlings are tough less you have experience. Id have to see pictures. The containers you are using work. The suns UV rays can degrade a lot of materials in 1 season so they have to be replaced. Hopefully thats not the case.

I use 3 gallon fabric pots because of my narrow and small patio space...you must stay on top of watering! Indeed...yes I may have to increase gallon size however, in order to grow some vivacious plants
Ability to water allows you to go smaller.

I can ONLY have a potted garden. Is there a way I can plant corn in pots? If so, how many would you recommend and in what size pots?
Thanks for buying it. You can grow them in 20 gallon pots. The trick with corn is not the growing but the pollinating. Every silk has to be pollinated from the pollen from the corn tassel. So a field of corns blows pollen everywhere and it works. 6 stalks of corn and often the wind blows the pollen away from them.

I rarely see pots at home depot tagged with how many gallons. It usually says the inches - like a 20 inch pot or a 12 inch pot. Is there a way to translate one to the other?
Perfect timing! I have (4) of your 5 gallon fabric pots from last year. Do you think Jimmy Nardello & Poblano would do well in 5 gallon? Basil? Green Beans?
Peppers will work yep. Poblanos get big so you might be on twice daily watering when heat comes and plants are large.

Could you please advise on the grow bag size for okra?
Could I grow an indeterminate tomato in 10 GAL to intentionally keep it under 6-8' for practicality over max yield? Would this be detrimental to flavor or disease resistance?
My walking onions like the felt bag so far.
My onions in 10 gallon are doing well.

hi gary. can you tell me what the diameters are on the root pouches? i'm working with a very small space. i have a couple of 20 gallon bags (different brand) because i thought that would be better than 4 5-gallons, but they're big enough that i can't soak them from below.
Great video. I have a long garden bed along a fence that is 14”x18’. I want to grow 4 cucumbers (vining) two indeterminate tomatoes and 8 bell peppers. Do you think that is enough space? Should I take away some peppers (I want to keep the tomato and cucs)? Or do you think I could get more in there? I was also thinking about intercropping basil and onions in the gaps between plants. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks
I might do 3 cukes. 1 on each end and 1 in the middle. The indeterminates dead center of those 3. I think you could tuck in the 8 peppers no worries. Basil, bunching onions and cilantro. Good luck.

I planned out the expansion of my garden with fabric pots a few months ago. I think all the sizes I decided on were one down from your recommendations, lol. Oh well, we shall see how they work out! I've been using fabric pots for a few years, and I agree, watering is the biggest challenge.
So you might be fine. I just picked what is best with respect to less watering. Good luck.

Hi Gary, I have a couple kiddy pools my GSD used to cool off in summer. I was thinking of using one for crops. I have a cement patio. I would like to extent my garden using some grow bags and maybe the pool. What could I grow in the pool?
Leafy greens. Things that dont have massive roots. Radishes, beets, even potatoes.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN you did!
I am looking to order the quart size root pouches from your website, to try instead of the solo cups, for starting tomato seedlings, because solo cups always fall over and make a mess. The one thing I do like about the solo cups is how easy the seedlings slide out of the plastic cup. I imagine it’s not so easy to remove the seedling, especially if it’s been growing in the root pot for some time. How do you remove seedlings? Do the roots just tear? Thanks!!!
These quarts work well as you can back the in and they press each other and don't fall over like cups. Tip is to run a knife along the inner edge when popping out the root ball. And you can reuse these.

We have a Black Walnut tree that had a banner crop of nuts last fall. However, it is finally encroaching on my nearer raised veggie beds, causing some stunted growth, there.
This year, I will be growing Alliums ( Onions, garlic, etc) in the affected beds as they are immune and will be growing potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, beans & more in various sized grow bags to foil the tree's juglone effects. The grow bags will be on tiered block & board shelves with watering trays on each shelf. Wish me luck. Any thoughts/advice?
No actually. Your plan sounds solid. If the roots are causing the issue. It cost money but rent a trencher and cut a trench between the tree roots and garden.

Thanks Gary! I have quite a few squash planted in 16” or 10 gallon containers. They are flowering already. Should I try repotting them or is it too late?
10 gallon is tough and repotting will be shocking to it, less it is still small. But it would be a watering issue. You'll have 2 water 2-3 a day with big plants and full heat.

Go vertical and feed more mulch them remove lower leaves water in mornings counting to 25 30 .., don't water overhead . I have mine in same bags and they are fine . I also water them with 2 tbsp seaweed per 2 gallon can every week now that they have flowers . I feel they will be happy seeing that people from crops in water .. plants also root prune so no root bound
How about melon and watermelon. Could you plant just 1 in a 10 gal and/or 5 gallon bucket? I have some extra buckets...this would save room in my beds
You can... but it is making sure you jack up the watering and fertilizing. I would try 1 in a 10 gallon for sure.

How are the plants in this video being watered? Are the plants just sitting on straw that his covering the ground?
Great video because I am about to purchase some. Would okra do well in a 20 gallon fabric pot?
I planted eggplant and okra together in a 20 gallon bag and the okra was around 6 feet tall and the eggplant did great. I also planted okra with thyme in a 10 gallon and that was also around 6 feet. I was harvesting okra everyday. SO you might be able to plant two in a 20 gallon. Mulching is a must with a 20gal bag and keeping up with watering.
hi,
love your channel!
what/is your source of your fabric pots? thanks
CZcams and Amozon.
Hi Gary. You mentioned 5 gallon grow bag may be pushing it for determinate tomatoes or eggplants. Would a 7 gallon be good? Thanks.
7 can work its really about watering. If you can stay on it, no worries. I do recommend 10. We sell then at a good price in my opinion.

Hi Gary, I haven't commented lately. Hope you are well! I bought 15 gallon containers and have planted my determinate and indeterminate tomatoes in my fabric pots. I did this because last few years I've been planting my indeterminate tomatoes in plastic nursery 15 gallon containers and they grew up to about 10 feet tall or taller. Do you think the 15gallon fabric will be OK? Can I plant my zuchinni seedlings in the 15 gallon fabric? (they are from your store!)
Oh, also, my Tiny Tim that I bought from you, gave me tomatoes all through the winter. Not many, but they were green through the winter and had little tomatoes on them up until about February. I finally had to take them out so I could use the pot!
I'm in Oakland CA. I think it's Zone 10a Hardiness. I can never figure these zones out!
Is it OK to side dress with Tomato Tone when plants are fruiting? Anything else once they start fruiting? Or is it when they are flowering....?
Thank you for everything. Have a great summer :)

15 gallon works for tomatoes. Ive grown them in 5's but it is nice to have a bigger size. A lot less work. 1 zuke in a 15 should work. Thanks for the order.

I will use 10 & 20 gal. size & saving on soil cost by putting Pea gravel or milling in the bottom, then a layer of Mulch on top of that. Soil, compost then another layer of mulch on top.
I get Milling (tiny tiny rocks) by the 18-wheeler load for $450. The guys that work on building & repairing our roads always have left over milling . When they have enough to fill up an 18- wheeler (roughly 60 yards) they call me & ask if I want to buy it.
The Mulch, I get for free . A local Tree Remover/Tree Trimmer comes & dumps his Shredded branches, twigs, trucks on my property.
I have a Subcompact Tractor with Pallet forks. I stick a 2x 4 or any board through the handles of the bags to lift & move them wherever I want.
The handles on these grow bags are the reason I use them instead of traditional pots. I have a knee that blows up after I lift anything over 15 lbs. I had 1 surgery on it already & will need a full knee replacement soon. As we get older, it gets more important to work smarter, not harder.
Nice options.

What about moisture fluctuation in fabric bags that leads to tomato cracking? Unless you have an irrigation system and keep consistent moisture, your heavy rains will crack all of your tomato no matter how your varieties are “cracking resistant”.
And watering more than 1 time a day (and sometimes even one time a day) is a luxury a few can afford.
That is really no different than any container as they loss water with limited root systems. Whatever container you use the moisture is key. Cracks are also more prone to thin skinned varieties. But as you said water more than 1x a day is an issue. Also larger pots are more forgiving.

Vining winter squash do great for me in just ten gallon fabric pots, so long as I give them at least two inches of water a week. Pile up dead leaves or straw around the outside or let the grass grow tall to shade the sides.

Nothing really. You just have to manage the moisture and as the plants get large, you do need to fertilize more often last the plants get larger and continue producing.

Do cucumbers need bigger plants it’s than peas?
Hey, Gary. What's more important when picking a grow bag? The diameter, the height, or volume?
I live in an apartment and was thinking of acquiring some grow bags to put on my long narrow balcony to grow some crops in. Ideally I can fit bags up to a maximum of 40cm in diameter; otherwise, I won’t be able to go from one side of the balcony to the other.
Any advice you can offer? Would appreciate it.
Volume for the roots is more important. I think or 10 and 20 gallons are too wide. We might have 5's left which are 4 gallons of volume. They require more watering and tending based on what you grow. Good luck.

They get big. I feel like a 20 gallon is best bet

How about mixing plants say in a 20 gallon bag like a Cherokee purple to ale plant with say lettuce or spinach and maybe some carrots or radishes to fill empty spots. Sort of a salad bowl bag. Is this possible or advisable.
That would work. You can tuck in shallow root plants and herbs.

Can I grow peanuts in fabric pots? And how large should I go if so? Thank you Gary 🥜
LOL I just bought peanuts. I am growing in 10 gallons and 20 gallons. They like to have moisture but I have figured out how many per pot or anything yet

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I think I’m going 20. First time growing peanuts.. got Valencia from OSC seeds here in 🇨🇦seems they send out pegs that need to anchor into the dirt around the perimeter of the plant to produce nuts ... hope my shorter Calgary season gives me enough time lol super cool plant 😎thanks Gary!
Enjoy your videos immensely. Have you tried sweet corn in the 20 gallon pots?
Not yet. But I am growing 81 seeds in a 4x4 space. You want enough stalks to get great pollination on the silks. Might be tough in 20 gallons. They'd grow but you'd have to pollinate the silks.

CanI let my fabric pot 10 to 20 gal size of tomatoes in a plastic pool of water from beginning to end. this is all new to me. ty.
Yes, a shallow pool works but it in the beginning you need a lot less and you have to watch for mosquito in standing water. It should dry out often before filling.

I bought 15 gallon grow bags for my cucumber and tomatoes. My cucs are vine and and my tomatoes are indeterminate. Is this size ok for these plants? Planning on doing one plant per 15 gallon container.
That will work. I have grown tomatoes in 5's but its too much work. I now recommend 20 gallon for cukes and indeterminate tomatoes but 15 will work. Just keep an eye on watering.

Can I put these pots directly on the ground or do they need to be on top of something for the water to drain?
On the ground is fine

If I'm going away for a few days, can I move fabric pots to a shady spot so they don't dry out?
Yep that's a good idea
