Grow bags black or white?

[relichound]

I've been thinking about using some grow bags next year. I have a source for some black bags but need some input from anyone that using them. My main concern is how much these would heat up compared to the white bags.

Thanks,
Jerry

I actually wish they made the handled ones in black. I could use the extra heat. Where did you find both colors? Peaceful Valley does have black ones but they are like a thick mil plastic where as the white ones have a fiber in them making them much more durable.

I haven't looked in a few weeks, but Peaceful Valley was out of stock for the 5 gal handled white ones. I need more!

Sue,
the black one's I'm looking at are also without handles so they may not work for you.

I like the white 15 gallon easi-lift grow bags. Haven't used them for tomatoes yet but they are great for squash. Have a Brugmansia in one of them, parsley and other herbs in others.

David,
How much floor space do your 15 gallon grow bags take up? I am thinking about buying some for next year to put in the greenhouse.
Thanks,
