Growing bags for cucumbers in the fall are an ideal way to harvest on sunny terraces and balconies, as well as in a greenhouse.
Growing bags or fabric pots are another option for cultivating delicious cucumbers in the fall.
How to grow cucumbers in a bag in the fall:
As cucumber plants grow, they develop an extensive root system that is efficiently aerated by the edges of the growing bag.
Growing bags in the fall support a healthy root system, which in turn leads to healthy cucumbers.
However, they require significantly more water than plastic or wooden containers. Some growing bags are of rather low quality and last only a couple of years.
Although the dimensions of the cucumber growing bags in the fall are only 35 cm x 95 cm, there is enough space for three vegetable plants, providing you with ample produce for several meals.
Growing bags for cucumbers in the fall were traditionally used under glass and were introduced as an alternative to planting directly in greenhouse soil. The absence of fixed boundaries meant that space could be utilized more efficiently throughout the year, and cucumbers were protected from soil-borne diseases.
Today, bags are still perfect for growing cucumbers in a greenhouse, but they also work wonderfully in sunny outdoor spots.
