lol i am using grow bags this year, i usually don't but im growing in a swamp and the soil is waaay too moist for planting in the ground, usually if the soil is dry enough i say plant in the ground, better drainage, stronger plants, and much harder to find. once the tap root gets a few feet deep it won't need water in all but the driest climates, bags offer the ability to move plants to avoid detection and can keep you an extra foot or two above ground if it is nessesary.
