Well, I'm going to put a grow bag in the middle of patch of uncultivated ground (covered with black weed supresser) and plant a couple of butternut squashes. From what I have been told the squashes will scramble all over the black stuff which will keep them nice and dry  and grow big and sweet :)

Well following advice from the kind people on this site. I turned one of my growbags on its side and chopped the top off and put some potatoes in.
They all growing quite nicely at the mo.

My friends put beetroot and sprouts in theirs as well.

I've heard of this too - how many seed pots did you put in each bag?
