The original Gro-Bag, established 1973, now peat free. Perfect for vegetable crops, growing tasty tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, cucumbers, green beans and melons. A peat-free formulation of composted manures and mineral fertilisers that increase the harvest.
Not just for tomatoes
Can also be used with crops such as aubergines and sweet peppers for maximum growth and flavour.
How to use
- PLANTING: Shake the bag to distribute the contents. Cut out panels along dotted lines. When only planting two plants use the end panels. Delay planting tomatoes until the first flowers open.
- WATERING: After planting, water in using about 6 litres (approx. 1.5 gallon) and then water as necessary to keep the bag moist.
- FEEDING: We recommend feeding tomato fertiliser. Use 4.5 litres of diluted tomato fertiliser for most crops, use once a week. For heavy feeders such as tomatoes under glass feed twice a week when the fruit on the second truss has set.
- GROWING TIPS: Avoid piercing the bottom of the bag to retain water. Train plants to fan out so that they receive maximum light and air. For best results feed with tomato fertiliser.
Where to use
Tomatoes under glass: Start feeding when the fruit on first truss is pea sized.
Tomatoes outdoor: Start feeding when the fruit on second truss is pea sized.
Peppers and aubergines: Start feeding when the fruit is the size of a golf ball.
Melons: Start feeding when the first fruit is swelling.
Courgette, marrows and cucumbers: Start feeding when picking commences.
