How Do You Plant Flowers In Hanging Baskets?
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Plants and flowers were grown in elevated gardens and harvests were abundant. You can create your own hanging wonder with easily created flower baskets. These beautify any outdoor area and give you a garden look in places that otherwise could appear a bit bare and uninteresting. Install a hanging hook wherever you want to place your hanging flower basket, if necessary. Fill a hanging basket with soil and fertilizer. If needed, ask a nursery or garden store to help you select a fertilizer that works well with flowers. Plant flowers in the pot. Tamp the soil down gently but firmly and add water. Hang the pot from your newly installed hook, or from a tree branch or anything that can hold its weight. Typically, you will want to find a place outdoors where drainage from the pot will not be a problem. Alternatively, for indoor hanging, be sure to use a pot with internal drainage to prevent floor or carpet dama
