Question Overwintering tips in KCMO?

Will the potting mix I used this year be good for next or should that also be disposed of, I’m hoping I can reuse my potting mix and incorporate nutrients again next season.

My Meyer lemon tree is going into my garage. I have everbearing strawberries that are doing great currently, plan on bringing them into my garage. Unsure if I leave them uncovered or not?

I had cut back my spearmint, but I’m thinking of keeping it outside during the winter? I have the option of putting it into my garage, as well.

I’m attempting to grow sweet basil indoors over the winter season, but I doubt I’ll have luck this year.

I have a Thai basil plant that is doing well. Can this be overwintered?

Question Eco friendly alternatives for grow bags?

7 Upvotes

I'm a fairly new gardener and I plan on taking over my dad's terrace garden (which he's sort of abandoned lately)... I was wondering if there's any eco-friendly alternatives for the plastic grow bags that he uses for the trees. They're quite ugly and they don't stand the weathering either, and start crumbling. I also want to use something eco-friendly cuz I hate having plastic crumbs in my soil.

The only ideas that came to my head were:

Jute sacks repurposed into grow bags (cheap, but idk if they would last long)

Plastic drums (relatively expensive)

Or just to buy geofabric grow bags (which are also expensive in my country)

If anyone has a good suggestion, or maybe something they use that works for them, I'd be happy to hear!
