A hanging basket can be a great way to add some colour and natural beauty to your home – especially if you do not have a garden. There is a definite art to putting together an attractive hanging basket though, and this blog will take you through the main steps.
Choose the right basket
If you get everything right, the basket should barely be visible when you finish. This means there is no need to splash out on anything fancy; a basic plastic basket will do, and it is the flowers you will be gazing at from your Charles Taylor garden furniture. It can help to pick one with a flat bottom for easy filling.
Add some compost
Before you can plant anything in your basket, you will need to add some compost. The best bets are either potting or multi-purpose compost – any brand will work fine. You may have to try out a few different ones, so that you can find compost that delivers the best results for you.
Plant the right flowers
This stage is where things get really interesting; many people assume that the aim should be to get as many different colours as possible, but that is not so. A limited mix, or just one colour, can actually look better and less overpowering. When it comes to the number of plants, add rows of around nine to either side and then put as many as you can in the top.
By following these steps, you can create beautiful hanging baskets to brighten up your spring.
