I had a stand of zinnias shading out my peppers, I just moved the grow bag they were in to the other side of the yard that needed more flowers anyway. I most often put them in kiddie pools with holes in the bottom. If I put the grow bags on top of the holes, any water that falls into the pools has to saturate the grow bag before it can drain from the pool. I never have to worry about weeds and I can put them as high or low as I want to save my back. The 5 and 10 gallon bags are around 2 bucks on Amazon. I have them everywhere. Growing tons of tomatoes and peppers this year thanks to grow bags.
