Urban farming is a trend I’ve been following for years, and between the recession and a growing focus on sustainability, it’s showing no sign of slowing down. As more of us live in cities, being able to create some green space easily is important. Bacsac offers a line of innovative geotextile bags that can be used to transform any space into a growing, living garden.
The Bacsac is a lightweight and portable bag that can be used indoors or out, on terraces, balconies, rooftops and yards. Users simply fill the permeable bags with soil – there are versions in round pot shapes as well as divided squares for larger, modular gardens – and plant to their heart’s content. The bags are made of double-walled and fully recyclable geotextile fabric that maintains the necessary balance between air, soil and water; it’s also resistant to sun, frost and tears.
Pot-sized Bacsacs range from 3- to 150-litre sizes, with hanging and window-box styles also available. Bacsquares range in size from two to 16 interior compartments. Custom sizes are also available. With prices starting at about NZ$40 for a 3-litre pot, Bacsac products are available at a variety of retailers worldwide.
