Why TessaGrows Growbags?

TessaGrows Vegetable and Flower Growbag Gardens grab your attention and care without being overwhelming. Beginner gardeners are able to manage the process by themselves, with minimal parental guidance. Growbags are portable and can be positioned for maximum sunlight. They are also not permanent and can be moved or dismantled very easily to be used in the future. In addition, good quality potting soil can be expensive, and a small fabric bag requires little potting soil. Most plants can grow in a 12” deep, 12” in diameter, 5-gallon fabric growbag.

How to Use Your DIY Growbag Kit

Open up your growbag and place it on the water tray.

Fill the growbag with .70 cu feet of potting soil to 2 inches from the top.

Gently press down with your fist all the way around the edges of the growbag and once in the middle to firm the soil.

Add more soil so it reaches about 2” from the top of the growbag.

Add 1 ¼ cups water to the coconut coir puck.

Wait for all the coconut coir to fluff up and rehydrate.

Lay the template on top of the soil. Make sure you line up the X on the template with the X on the growbag.

Starting with the seeds first, cover the template with the coconut coir.

Press gently to firm the coconut coir.

Fill a recycled plastic bottle with water and screw on the water spout.

Water like gentle rain, making sure the top layer is wet through.

Keep moist so the seeds can swell and cause the roots to burst their shell and tunnel into the soil while the leaves and stem grow toward the sun.

Mix 2 pinches of seaweed to 4 cups of water and feed your seedlings once a week.

Don't forget to harvest the food in your growbag!

At the end of the season, your flowers will still be growing strong.

Use the tag on the side of your growbag to identify what’s growing.

Seed templates solve the problem of how to space and conserve seeds by offering diverse seeds, chosen for small container gardening, optimally spaced apart so each seed has its place in the soil. Using the templates also saves on the need to purchase multiple seed packs. Substitute seeds are included in the event the template fails, or to add when the plants have been eaten or are over their season.

Know Your Growbag

Once the seedlings sprout, you can use the other side of the watering spout to water.

Always get low to the plant and water around the seedling, making sure to drench it without touching the stem. (Slowly and close up works!)

Watering Tips

Growbags can easily dry out as the side of the bags are unprotected from the force of the wind and sun. That’s why they need to be watered every day in summer and sometimes twice. If you have more than one bag, place them close to each other so there’s less places for water to escape. If you water your grow-bags with a hose or hard spray them, the soil will get hard and growth might be stunted. Use a watering can with a rose spray for best results.
