Have any of you tried those? How would you rate them?

I was curious, so I made some out of feed sacks, used baling twine for support/handles, and planted a tomato in a cut at the bottom. Hanging out and waiting now. I figured a few experimental sacks wouldn't hurt. Then I thought they'd be great for strawberries too.

They did OK but not great you really have to watch the wind it will beat them to death.

I see them on tv...a new gimmick....

I have to say that you can't improve on Mother Nature...so they just don't look "natural" to me.
Just my little 2 cents worth...

Ah, good to know. Ran out of ground space and thought I'd go up. I'll watch for the wind, I hadn't thought of that. The sacks are fairly heavy with all that moist dirt. I have a few more plants left, so maybe I'll just put them in containers or add an annex to the fenced-in garden.
