This article is unreferenced. Has been for years. More importantly, it's about a bag of debris. That doesn't seem notable. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:22, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2015 January 29.  —cyberbot I   Talk to my owner :Online 07:55, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. The stub is terrible. The topic is not. There are more significant discussions in books than I care to count (although it's helpful to filter out The Dark Tower references), and quite a few scholarly journal articles that discuss various aspects of grow bags, such as substrate ratios or ideal bag volumes.

 * Keep per SC - Not gonna lie the article's in a bad way but the subject is most certainly notable, I've found a few sources - I'll admit they're not perfect but notability is there. – Davey 2010 Talk 15:08, 29 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Maybe Merge with Flowerpot? Sources do indicate a distinction from either growing on the ground or in a rigid container, but it's not a huge one. More people would learn about them as a section in the more established (and better maintained) place. For the meantime, I've planted this in that See Also.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep – per GNG. In addition to the above sources, here is one from the Financial Times. Many images on Google, many papers on Google Scholar (10% of UK strawberries). The idea is even familiar enough to be used metaphorically – see the GS papers on "The Semantic GrowBag Algorithm". – Margin1522 (talk) 18:32, 6 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep, of course, it's easily notable. And nothing at all like a flowerpot. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:37, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
