Once you basket is lined you need to think about putting your plants in. Hanging Basket Guide Planting has some tips. If you wish to put flowers
one the side of your basket as well as on top then first make a few holes in your lining to allow the plant roots through then put some multi purpose compost over the basket lining. Then feed your side plants roots through
the holes from the middle out giving each plant a little space between them, making sure that the roots are touching the compost then put more compost over the top. If top plants are required plant them in the layer of
compost you put over the side plants. A tip is to use moss with the compost when putting layers of plants in your basket. Another tip is to use 75% multi purpose compost and 25% John Innes mixed together to make your
plants last longer. Also use slow release fertiliser which reduces the amount of times you need to feed your basket and water retaining gel granules which helps with watering. |
