Main St. Suite G Red Bluff • 530-710-5940 Your summer garden's in the bag! Short of sounding like a bro- ken record, I don't know how to fully communicate that all of us need to know how to produce at least some of our own food. Apparently, some of you are listening. According to the National Gardening Association, 43 million American families were growing their own food in 2009. Home gardens are gaining popularity by leaps and bounds. In the past, tending to a backyard garden was more of a hobby than it was a significant source of food, but home gardens are becoming more serious than ever. This is good news for read- ers who don't have a backyard, too. Home gardens now come in all shapes and sizes and, I'm learning, even in garbage bags. Clydette Alsup-Egbers, as reported in The Orange County Register, is not only leading a serious research project in home gardening but also doing all she can to put fun back into garden- ing. By planting directly into a big plastic trash bag containing pot- ting soil, you can create an instant "garden" that is neat, cheap, quick and ready to thrive anywhere the sun shines. Place the bag in the location you wish; plant in it; and cover it with mulch. The mulch can cover the bag completely and hide it from view. Here are the advantages of Clydette's no-dig gardening method: • It's cheap. All you need is a 10- to 15-pound bag of potting soil (such as Miracle-Gro), a box of garbage bags and seedlings or seeds. Clydette warns against using your native soil in this kind of bag gar- dening, as topsoil com- pacts easily and may not drain well. And it might be nutrient- needy, too. Commer- cial potting soil is the right mix for this kind of growing. • It's easy. Load up the bag with potting soil, and cinch up the ties to close the open end. Lay it on its side, and slit drainage holes in the sides and bottom. Then cut a few openings on the top for your plants. You've created a raised- bed "garden." • It's weed-unfriendly. Because you are starting out with good, sterile potting soil, you will not be plagued with weeds trying to choke out your toma- toes, lettuce and beans. We're talking nearly weed-free garden- ing. • It's vertical. If you stand that Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate bag vertically so the open end becomes the place where you do your planting, you will eliminate the need for stooping or bending. This is an excellent option for things that have deeper root systems, such as tomatoes and potatoes. • It can be indoors. OK, this may sound crazy, but it's a definite possibility. Use very small bags to grow flow- ers. Once they're in full bloom, the entire thing can make an attractive centerpiece inside your home. You easily can disguise the bag by plac- ing it in a pretty box or another vessel and cover- ing it with sphagnum from the craft store. • It's kid-friendly. Gardens in bags are perfect for kids, the next generation of home garden- ers.
