I have filled the flower bag, now what do I do?
cut the flower bag like this
  • the mix in the flower bag must be wet thoroughly.
  • hold under a tap, watering can or hose.
  • when filled the water will drip from the bottom cut corners.
  • after watering, lay the bag flat at a comfortable height and pat down forming a flat 'sausage' shape.
  • space out your 'T' shaped cuts on one side of the flower bag only.
  • the 'T' shaped cuts should be facing upside down.

we suggest 8 cuts, 2 rows of 4 evenly spaced 'T' cuts on the bag. some of our bags have less than 8 cuts depending on the expected growth and covering of the plants.

  • using a sharp knife make 3 cm cuts in each leg of the 'T'.
  • using a dibber or similar implement, push into each cut to make a planting hole.
  • remove a seedling fro the punnet a push gently into the hole.
  • pressing the bag gently around the plant will force the potting mix around the seedling.
  • repeat for all the holes.

careful, the plastic is stronger than you think but will cut easily with a sharp blade. a good idea is to mark the cuts with a 'texta' pen (permanent marker type pen), this will help prevent overcutting.
