2. As someone who doesn't have enough space,

I like these ideas. The only one that is iffy to me is that mushrooms.....I have tried and tried, and just cannot get mushroom kits to work for me. Oh well, I will just have to continue getting mushrooms the old-fashioned way...from the store....no, just kidding. I love to take walks looking for wild mushrooms.

3. Thanks. I saw a video of a woman gardening in a bag, but this detailed description

about how to do it is very helpful. I think I will try this.

4. Bag culture is SOP for a lot of commercial growers of certain crops now.

Such as greenhouse cucumbers and tomatoes in SW Ontario. They just use the bagged potting mix, and cut a slit to insert the transplant. Cheap, fast, easy. After the crop cycle is over, the bag is generally intact enough that they can easily pick it up and toss in on the cart for the ride to be composted (they use fresh, sterile mix for each crop).
