This morning, as I light the first smoke of the day, I had an idea.

If I filled a burlap sack with soil, tuned it on its side, and slit a x in one side, poke some holes in the bottom
could It sustain a full grow plant?

I think that the burlap soaks water and I know that the side laying it the dirt will stay moist

will this all work out well??

By the way heres the years stock:

When I was younger we used to grow in burlap bags . On the branches of a few tree's we would rope the bag to the branch and cut s slit in the middle and the plant would grow from there and BLEND in we did it 3 yrs with 1 great success

I would imagine roots would grow through the bottom of the sac?
Im just trying to find an alternative to digging a hole(s)
but I cant water buckets as Im scouting a spot thats a 5 mile uphill hike through brushlots swamps and forrest land:)

Burlap bags will dry out really quick once the roots take up all the space , one 80-90 degree day with beating sun light will dry that bitch up.
However if you can dig up the ground underneath the bag the roots will most likely grow through the bag , you shouldnt have to make holes but that may help.

Im doing something similar this year.

Does anyone know where you can buy actual burlap bags, all I'm finding around here is rolls of the material.

My idea was to dig a shallow hole, maybe six inches deep, and puting the sac in the hole. After that maybe backfill the top of the bag with mulch??
Im pretty sure mulch helps with moisture and true the bag will act as a wick.

any soil suggestions??

Pro-Mix Potting soil and sheep manure.... good for the season!!
You could mulch But I never needed too, Roots grow right threw the bag/sac with ease. Utalizing the moisture in the soil under the bag/sac.
