HANGING BASKET GUIDE LININGS


A good lining is important when arranging baskets, Hanging Basket Guide Linings suggests a few.  Before you start filling your basket you need to think about good drainage, so that if you over water the water can run away and not damage your plants.  If over watered the roots can rot.  Examples of things to use are broken bits of old plant pots or small stones.  Then comes the lining, the most commonly used linings are moss, black plastic sheeting or basket lining that can sometimes come already lined in the basket.  Which ever lining you use or combination is then arranged in the basket.
