Personally I wouldn't, and don't, bother with them. Get some decent sized pots or buckets and some half decent compost. Mix in some bfb and sand or vermiculite. Voila. Job done. Much better

Yup, agree.  I found grow bags a royal pain in the... to water.  large 12" pots work a treat.

If you really want Grow-Bags, they have 2 for £4 in Sainsbury's at the mo, good sized ones and didn't look too compacted. I will be getting some as I use them as a base and then plant the toms in flower buckets on top with no bottoms to give them extra growing room.

B&Q grow bags (the ones containing peat) came out best in for quality a recent Which? report. The current deal is 5 for £7 according to their website.

They have not let me down to date-I either empty them out into pots, or cut them in half and turn them on their ends to give me 2 grow bag pots which makes them easy to water.

That is exactly right IMO.
Bags offer no depth for the roots to grow into. Even if you just buy decent grow bags and use them to fill deep pots would be better.
