    What do you all use for lining hanging baskets?
    What are the pros and cons?
    In the past I have tried plastic bin bags with holes ( what a load of RUBBISH )
    Then I bought some pre formed liners green plastic with a hairy coating Looked good when planted until the sparrow stripped the hairy stuff for their nests and left them bare.
    Plenty of moss in my lawn but I don't think that is the right moss :rolleyes:
    This year I have found something GREAT [​IMG]
    TREDAIRE carpet underlay free in my loft not being used.Its hessian backed, easy to cut and has a green foam rippled effect to show through on the outside of the baskets which will also help retain moisture. So search those lofts you dont know what you might find :cool:

    PS I forgot to say HAPPY BANK HOILDAY TO ALL YOU GARDENERS WHEREVER YOU ARE. Enjoy the good weather
    I will be cruising the canals sitting back with my glass of wine (or 2 )admiring all the lovely gardens that back onto the canals.

    Slugbug..... have a nice time too, think of me doing the same ( sipping a glass or 2 of wine )while admiring my hard work in my garden... for the last 3 months, lol......
    --------------------
    Hanging basket? I know the moss baskets are nice, but by the time the plants are growing you won't see the moss anyway, so now I use only solid plastic all in terracotta colour, mostly wall basket, done about 30 in total so far. Don't dry out so easily.

    Hope you GARDENERS all have a good weekend ?
