    my problem is very simple but im having a real difficult time thinking of how to allow the run off water through my 3 gal grow bags so it just doesnt run onto the floor because i am a cab grower. so im looking for people who have solved this problem without moving the plants because my space is very limited. my space is 1.5'x2.25'x6' so i want to fit 2 rows of three

    Set the growbags on a dish....or....what I do is only give about 1.5 to 2 liters of water per watering or feeding....runoff is practically zero and the plants receive all they need

    You could try setting the bags in a kitty litter box.

    my set up right now is a large container which will hold my bags, elevate the back side of the container to allow water to run to the front. in the front i have a few holes drilled and catch the water.

    we used this method with grow bags before but we also put a grate from a BBQ grill inside the container to set the bags on that way the water that drained through would have no way to just stay at the bottom of the dirt and cause ya some problems.

    Not to get off topic to much. But would a regular growing pot that hase a base to store the drain off. Be beter then some grow bags. Only tipe grow bag i ever used would be. Jiffy #7's but there really not bags. Oh well happy blazzen all
