    Comments about Herb Planting Bag:

    I used this to fit into a small antique wrought iron wheel barrow as I couldn't find a pot. I planted my plant and it did well for a few weeks although it took a lot of water. I then found an oblong pot that would work in it and repotted the plant. It was a great temporary fix and I am sure it would work quite well as stated, for growing herbs. I am an ok gardener. autumn[@]

    I was disappointed in all the holes in it. I have not used it. It should have the tray so it would have some place to drain.

    Comments about Herb Planting Bag:

    I found these grows bags to be excellent small space growing tools. I purchased three that I am currently using for lettuce and herbs. Some reviews had discussed these bags didn't hold their shape and seemed flimsy. However, that they don't hold their shape makes them easier to deal with and even allows them to accommodate more. For those who do not have garden spaces, these are perfect. They can be moved easily as the sun moves or if you simply want a different "look" to where ever you may be using them. I did not purchase the watering trays and don't feel they are necessary, but they may lessen the amount one needs to water. I had seen these in Britain and thought they were a wonderful idea. Now that I own them, I will always find a use for them.

    Comments about Herb Planting Bag:

    I had a free standing planter (from Gardener's Supply!) to fill. It is outfitted to fill with soil directly but I knew that various herbs would grow at different rates and really need different soils. I got four planters bags which perfectly fit the space and disappear inside the planter box. I used a different soil mix for each type. Also now when some of them get leggy or overgrow their bounds, I only have to deal with 1/4 of the box and I don't have their roots interfering with other plants.

    Comments about Herb Planting Bag:

    Can't think of anything that isn't good about it! I planted my cilantro, basil and parsley seedlings in it as soon as it arrived and they have done so well. I have set it outside my kitchen door so that I just have to open the door and have fresh herbs whenever I need them. If ever it is in the way, I just have to pick it up by the handles and move it. Can't say enough good things about the convenience!

    Comments about Herb Planting Bag:

    I think it might be helpful to have some sort of container to place the bag in - it kind of bulges out and doesn't feel like it's going to really old everything in - but it does.

    Comments about Herb Planting Bag:

    This one is different from the other growing bags. It's more plastic-feeling and can't hold its shape. Because it has handles, you can't turn down the first few inches to make it sturdier. I can't use it as I had planned.

    Comments about Herb Planting Bag:

    Bought 2 bags at first, then after using them, thought that they are really useful and got the tomato growing bags as well. It's still early days yet, since this is my first year using them, but so far the herbs I've put in them are growing pretty well and adapting to the bag easily. I'll see how the tomatoes turn out later this summer.

    Comments about Herb Planting Bag:

    I have just started a new batch of Herbs in the Herb bag, to be put outdoors on my deck when the weather get warmer. I especially like the fact that it's compact and easy to move, so I can place it on the deck - handy for harvesting for meals, and move it for maximum sun and rain as needed. Time will tell, but it looks like it will give several years of service- quality construction.

    Comments about Herb Planting Bag:

    My husband and I are avid sailors and do quite a bit of gourmet cooking on board during sailing season. Cooking with store bought dried herbs is just not the same as using fresh basil, rosemary and tarragon! I have been looking for a small, light weight, portable container to grow herbs. A fabric-like construction would give the desired flexibilty for an on-deck accessory. The Herb Planting Bag is it!

    Comments about Herb Planting Bag:

    I bought them to plant herbs and they work but because they are not stiff the dirt moves around a bit so I'm not as "comfortable" with them as I am with regular pots. But the herbs are growing well.

    Nice idea, but when you plant and everything looks nice, you can't move the bag without disturbing whats planted. Once its planted don't move it!
