Is it okay to plant some winter lettuce in the growbags that my tomatoes have been growing in this summer?

i have never done it but i don't see why not. i would be inclined to mix in a little BFB or slow release fertiliser before planting.

I did this last year and it was 100% successful.

Hi Tim / Sinbad, did either of you top-up the bag with liquid feed or similar?

Never thought about it!

I would think I sprinkled some Phostrogen in it. I tend to sprinkle Phostrogen on any used compost.

Thanks all, including Duke for raising the question. Will give it a go.
