I have done with grow bags, it seems like torture to expect a tomato or cucumber to eek out an existence in so little soil. I am making wooden troughs for next year.
I've used growbags for many years but have finally given up on them for the silliest reason. At the end of the season I take the used growbags up to the allotment to fill a raised bed I use for carrots and move round each year. What a faff! They are so difficult to handle. Now I use big pots which are much easier.
I also gave up as they are tricky to water just right too and I use weight as a guide in pots. As far as compost goes I use the New Horizon Multipurpose and get pretty good results from it.
As far as the peat v peat free debate goes it is one that will run and run (or grow and grow!!) You'll have to decide for yourself.
Now I do use growbags (when I'm growing) and for two reasons;
1: They're easier to carry and transport than a big bag or bale of compost.
2: They usually contain a finer compost than the bigger bags/bales, which, in my (limited) experience, seem to be full of twigs, stones, wire, plastic and all manner of un-seivable and unusable lumps.
