I've been away on a few days holiday but that doesn't mean my search for freebie ideas ends there. There are ideas everywhere if we can only look for them and see them. So heres a great idea, initially utilised by african gardeners i believe. Its the humble hessian sack.
What you do is first find your sack. Then fill the centre of it with bricks, then you surround the bricks with earth. The you simply plant the think with whatever you want - genius hey?
I've seen similar ideas using plastic bags, so if I cant find any hessian bags I'll try with plastic.
This particular bag, shown off in last Saturdays Guardian is part of a 'kit' which would cost you about £20!
I bet the african gardeners don't buy kits!

Hi Rob, Fiona from Swapseeds here. I had a hessian sack with spare seed potatoes in it, it was given to me last year. I left it sitting at the corner of my house and when I went to pick it up the other day it had totally rotted through. I'd keep hessian sacks for storing spare spuds in, I have used large rubbish bags for potatoes before now. They seem to need a lot of water though.
