Did You Know: You Can Grow Vegetables in Potting Soil Bags
Of all the container gardening methods I’ve heard of, this has got to be one of the easiest way in the world to container garden.
The only things you need to grow vegetables in plastic potting soil bags are bags of potting soil and seedlings. How simple is that? Just start your seeds indoors as usual, or purchase the seedlings of your choice. Once the seedlings have been hardened off and are ready to be planted outdoors, you’re ready to start your potting soil bag container garden.
Lay the bags of potting soil in a sunny spot in your yard. Lay them flat, not upright (so that the side of the bag is facing upward). Cut cross-hatch openings in the bag. The openings should be larger than necessary, so that there is exposed soil around the seedling, for watering purposes.
For larger plants (such as tomato plants), you will need one bag of soil per plant. Smaller plants like radishes, lettuces, and herbs, you can plant several per bag. Follow the spacing suggestions on the packets of seeds or seedlings.
Push the seedlings through the openings on the bag. Water as usual.
Easy, huh? 
Happy potting soil bag container gardening!

Hi, I too have been using these methods and this year I have decided to do something different. I am using only 8 lb bags and putting them upright. For extra loose soil I mixed 1 part peat. Each bag is for a single plant. The reason for using upright is for a deeper rooting system. Thanks for posting because it is not a method that is not widely used.

I would like to try this, but I find that “a bag” of potting soil can be anywhere from a couple of quarts up to 55 quarts. So how large a bag would I need for, say, a single pepper or tomato plant?

Never knew you could plant veggies in a potting soil bag! It sounds quite interesting to do; I think I might just try that. I have a whole bunch of potting soil bags lying around. They’d probably even give the garden a nice and homey look too. Thanks for the idea! Now I’ll have some use for them.

Heck, I went to Menards, bought several organic compost and manure bags, I plan to put the bags in sunny spots in the back yard, cut open an “x” in the bag and plant one tomato seedling right in one bag of soil.
