Tomato growbag greenhouse

[Plebbles]

I've been thinking of getting one of these http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500001501&productId=1500369677&langId=-1&engine=froogle&keyword=Tomato+Growbag+Greenhouse
does anybody have any experience groing toms/aubergine plants in one in a limited space? Pros/Cons etc.

We're past frost days, so unless you're in a particularly cold part of the country ot the tomatoes are particularly exposed, I can't see that this GH will add much at this time of year (it's too late for it to help you get your tomatoes off to an early start).

Also it looks a bit flimsy and will need anchoring to stop it blowing away. I seem to remember others on this forum having a bad experience with them but am not certain.

Sorry, It was the Argos walk-in GH that disappointed a lot of people.

Yes its lightness and inadequacy in the wind is pointed out by most of the reviewers. It would be on a fourth floor balcony so that might be an issue.

Plebbles, I had a couple of these when I had a ground floor flat - and I put two or three bricks on the bottom tray and that made it much more stable.  I liked the idea that I could move the mini greenhouse about to make sure it caught the sun for the longest time as the summer wore on.  I would recommend it.

If it gets very windy, you can poke a hole through the plastic and tie the frame to anything sturdy close by.

I use them as well in the North of Scotland. My ones also have 2 metal rings at the back that you can hook on to supports fixed into a wall (they are meant to stand against a wall really). There's plenty of weight to keep them down with the growbags I have in them.

My only complaint is that they have a flat roof and though the water that collects does dribble down the cane holes it does tend to make the roof sag. I put a few wooden supports across the top just to support the roof.
