After reading your idea and the feedback I went out and purchased 2- 20 pound bags and planted cabbage and tomatoes. The plants are healthy and growing ! I plan to add a few more bags and put in lettuce and salad mix. How often are you fertlizing and any ideas about the kind of fertilizer that works well would be appreciated.

Another good item used for planting squash, cukes, ect. is to use hay bales that have been soaked for several days. You can lay this bales right on cement if need be. Large areas are not necessary.Make sure you water you fertilize regularly. These hay bale gardens are nice for seniors and people that can not do a lot of bending.

Good for you... I posted a tip like this one earlier this spring, but I never got around to actually growing any flowers or veggies... I glad to hear growing in potting soil bags REALLY does work!
