we are always seeking new ways to increase crop production without sacrificing water conservation, without increasing financial stress and using only a small amount of space to provide nutritional needs.

So what is sack farming? It is a process of filling a series of individual burlap sacks with soil, manure and pebbles for drainage. The rocks release micronutrients into the soil, including boron, cobalt copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, chlorine and zinc, all essential for high yields and healthy plant growth. Once seeds are planted inside each sack, plants grow up to the top and in the sides of the sacks with the use of stakes. This method works well for anyone experiencing limited access to proper soil and ample water.

Another benefit of sack gardens becomes evident when you situate an empty burlap sack in a raised bed garden or on a higher construction type of elevated structure, then fill with proper ingredients. This works well for those have difficulty bending, those with back problems, people in wheelchairs and anyone who has a disability, limiting them from planting in the ground. Sacks can be placed and filled anywhere there are stoops, porches, decks, and even parking places.
