grow bag question (mainly) and more

bizzarbazzar · January 24, 2007

I have never used grow bags, and want to buy about 100 this year, some for tomatoes and some for other veggies. I have an area on the side of my house which gets full sun, but its all cement.
<We broke up the cement last year in the back of the yard and under it was the worst soil, and we will be working on that soil so we are not ready to break up this cement on the side. To me it seems like a waste of space because there is not much I can do wit a 3 ft x 200 ft piece of cement. >
On too the question, is there a place to buy them in qty of about 100 or so? Also I would think the black ones would be best, but there are ones that are black inside and white outside, would those be better? This year I am going to use them on some of my not so favored varieties I am growing for my Dad (Marglobe etc.)
Any advice would be great

As you can tell I am drastically changing a lot about my gardening in hopes to have a "better" or shall I say "Improved" garden. And some things I am not familiar with may be incorporated in my garden. I may be using a daconil like product as opposed to a chemical free garden, I am going to stake ALL indeterminates instead of the 40 or so that I allowed to "sprawl" last year. I am going to attempt to compost AND vermicompost etc etc etc. So in the next few weeks I may just be asking more questions than I usually do. But I have been an old dog too set in my ways, and I know there are better ways out there. Thank you all for all of the help ...in advance...
