New Eco Bags

[67Special]

I found this ad today in the November issue of Blue's Country magazine

 

I don't think 25 litres would keep my ladies happy for a month, but certainly a couple of weeks.

 

I'll be ordering some today, so I'll let you know how they go.

Thanks for reviving this grok & smoke p, I'd forgotten all about them until now

 

I only ended up trying them on a couple of young citrus trees and they're basically useless imho

 

I laid them under a thick layer of mulch and instantly wondered what effects a plastic barrier between the soil and the mulch would have, like Indy's question. They also prevent rain water (when it actually comes!) from getting to the roots directly below the bag itself

 

My initial doubts were also proven true, in that 25L doesn't last very long in the height of a dry Qld summer, even for a 3' high citrus tree So there was no chance that they would help an 8' high flowering sativa, or even a 3' one for that matter

 

I think a 100L version stashed in nearby scrub with a drip line to the plant would work better. I used a plastic garbage bin to the same effect last season, but it was only 60 odd litres and was feeding 4 plants, so it still required regular refills.

 

Sorry if I got your hopes up with that original post but I was a bit desperate carting 200L a week to feed the ladies

That's no good 67. Bumma to hear it didn't work out so well for ya.

 

It's still a good idea, just prolly needs a bit more work on it as more tech becomes available over time.
