Gardeners urged to use £1 item to help your plants thrive this summer

GARDENING TASKS ARE BECOMING MORE IMPORTANT AS THE SUMMER APPROACHES - AND THIS TRICK MAKES IT A LOT EASIER THAN YOU THINK ASHLEY BAUTISTA 09:14, 29 May 2025 With summer almost upon us,

gardening duties have skyrocketed in priority. As we enter June, gardening enthusiasts are being advised to cultivate vegetables within the confines of their sheds, utilising handy grow

bags. Increasing temperature fluctuations and humidity levels mean plants and flowers require extra TLC, with a focus on consistent watering and direct sunlight exposure. Beyond enhancing

the look of your patio space, successfully growing your produce has the added benefit of saving you the trouble - and expense - of running to the shop for essentials like potatoes, lettuce,

and fresh basil. Nonetheless, upkeep of significant garden areas can be overwhelming, which is why an innovative solution has come to the fore. For those hamstrung by limited garden space,

help is at hand. You may have heard about the merits of grow bags. What's more, their compact size and lightweight nature make them incredibly easy to transport and position as desired.

Perhaps now is the perfect time to give them a whirl. Article continues below Sam Jenkinson, representing garden building aficionados Tiger, noted to the Mirror: "Many plants can be

grown from bags inside your garden shed instead of being planted outside. For example, you can create a potato tower in a bag that can be grown vertically which is great if you have limited

space." Tending to your plants in this manner has multiple benefits - and will undoubtedly save you some elbow grease in the long run! Article continues below The gardening expert said

that by utilising grow bags, you can even facilitate the harvest process. Gardeners need merely to tip out the bag and sift through for their vegetables. He noted that this method neatly

corrals everything together, while also deterring any pests from spoiling the veggies. Sam added: "To help your plants thrive in their grow bag, keep the soil moist and position them

near a window as they love sunlight. If you don't have space near a window, you can also purchase a grow light which will do the same job."
