Hanging flower basket
I planted some flowers in two hanging baskets just recently. In the past the potting mix dried out real quick even with water saver crystals in it.
This time I dumped the potting mix in a container and redone the method of putting the potting mix back in. The baskets are about 12 inches in size. I put about 1/2 inch mix in the bottom of the basket and then placed a disposable soup bowl in the bottom. Refilled the container with potting mix while putting the flower plant in.
With the potting mix being in the bowl it should hold about 1/2 cup of water or there about for the plant to draw from when needed.
Watering very frequently in the past was a pain to keep up with.
Planted two violas, one blue and the other yellow.
See how this idea works out.
