I haven't heard of these pouches; how do they work? I don't have a green thumb at all, so any help would be appreciated in knowing if these pouches would be lots easier than trying to plant an entire flower bed!!!

Years ago I tried using the plastic tubes they sell in at the hardware store for down spouts off your eaves. It works awesome because they are in a roll so you can cut off what length you like. Tie or staple the bottom and fasten a hanger. Fill with soil. Cut x holes for seed or plants. Water and wait to grow. They are quite strong and there is no sewing.

I have seen the upside down hanging tomatoe planters on tv & was thinking they would be easy to make my own as well.I would use an old shower curtain or vinal table cloth or other.
It seems the tomatoe start would be held inside the bag with an opening just large enough for it to be slipped inside & the bag then filled with the dirt & potting soil.Hang it & then (hopefully) enjoy !

You are so clever! This is truly a winning idea, and I thank you for it.

These are nice because you can make them any size you want, but I buy mine here in Michigan for around $.67 (or less) at the end of the year so making my own wouldn't be an option for me considering the time it would take me to just find my machine! I usually throw mine away at the end of the season, but my mom keeps hers from year to year and is beautiful every year. You should make a bunch of these and sell them!
Happy gardening!
