Navlet's Mini-Clinic - How To Grow a Growing Planter
If you like
moss hanging baskets because they look so natural and seem alive with
plants, you'll love one made from ground cover. The basket itself seems
to grow! Here's how to make your own:
|
|
Gather
Materials
Start with a wire basket frame in the shape of your choosing, and
a collection of your favorite plants, potting soil, and a flat of
ground cover. |
|
|
|
Line
Wire Basket
Line
the inside of the wire frame with any dense ground cover, with the
roots toward the inside of the basket. For this project, we used Baby
Tears. |

as at the top. Fertilize and water thoroughly.
|
|
|
|
Water
& Enjoy
Keep
the basket well watered, and sit back and wait for the show.
