Can anyone tell me of some good uses for last years growbags? I usually just tip them out onto the garden, but is there any other uses I could put them too? My husband suggested putting them in the compost bin, but I dont think thats a good idea.

I'd suggest carrying on as you are and digging them in as a soil conditioner.

I put them on some beds (I put them where the spuds were that year, so that it is another few years before Spuds see the soil again as Toms and Spuds have the same diseases).

That might be a reason for not putting them on the compost heap - presuming that your compost gets put on pretty much all your beds? but having said that much of my spent potting compost goes into the compost bin.

And some I use at the bottom of Urns and Tubs - with fresh compost on top.  I mix a slow acting granular fertilizer into the old compost, and moisture retaining gel (which I don't put in the top compost because it just comes to the surface as it absorbs water and expands, so I assume does little good

I usually just empty used compost etc on to the garden to add to the structure. However someone asked about unused growbags/compost and I read that carrots like unmanured soil.

So if you have a good sized pot and some spare carrot seed why not empty the growbag(s) into the pot and sow some carrots in it.

If you have the pot and seed then you have nothing to lose.
