Tomato & Vegetable Planting Mix Grow Bag
Growing your own food is in the bag with Richgro’s TOMATO & VEGETABLE GROW BAG!
“I was ecstatic when I found out Richgro were bringing out a grow bag – It’s a product I’ve used in the UK and I always wondered why nobody used them in Australia. Well what is a grow bag? Simply it’s a bag filled with the perfect potting mix and additives for you to grow herb and veggies in – the bonus is you use the bag as a pot so it can be used in the smallest of spaces, including balcony gardens.” Charlie Albone, TV gardening expert and Richgro Brand Ambassador.

HANDY HINTS:
- Support stakes or a frame may be inserted directly into the planter to support Tomatoes, Peas and Beans. A good tip is to insert the stake through the plastic directly, creating a drainage hole on the other side.
- Water regularly to allow the roots to grow strong inside the bag.
- After harvesting, dig the leftover growing mix into your garden to improve soil structure, add it to an existing pot as Potting Mix or dispose of the bag and mix in your waste disposal.
GROWING TIPS:
- Whilst this Grow Bag contains a controlled release fertiliser, it is a good idea to boost your crop with a liquid fertiliser after 6-8 weeks to increase plant health and yield during growing season.
- Insects love vegies. Using Richgro Beat-A-Bug Spray will help protect your crop as it contains all-natural ingredients like Pyrethrum to help knock the insects down. It also contains Chilli and Garlic which helps to repel the insects. A good habit is to spray every 10-14 days. Spray in the morning and afternoon and not whilst in flower, this will help protect the beneficial insects. Being a natural product it’s completely safe to use on all your edible plants.
