Can I use these around my hostas that are planted in the ground, would it still work?

Great instructions, wish I had seen this before planting up my neighbours baskets. Will know for next year. Thank you.

I do this but can't keep it alive!

Tim, you succeeded in getting me to have a go from scratch without any gardening skills. I’m looking after my 91 year old mum and thought I’d brighten up the place for her. Thanks to your how-to video I’ve only gone and made not 1, not 2, but count ‘em 8 14 inch hanging baskets! 6 weeks in now and I’m frankly astonished at the results they just keep on giving more and more. I modified the traditional method you use here because the sphagnum moss around here wouldn’t hold together very well and was expensive for the modest pack so I used my conifer hedge clippings instead (free) together with half of a wool/moss basket liner (cheaper). Could only find lobelia plant plugs (clearance £1 tray of 6, so snapped up 6 trays of mixed lobelia) and used them in the second layer together with standard garden centre 4cm pots, 6 or 7 per basket. First basket took me 6 hours learning the ropes, the rest under 2 hours each. Once again many thanks for the ‘you can do it’ inspiration.

I really enjoyed your video. Thank for sharing your experience with us 👍👍👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️

Too bad i didn't see the finished project! No blooms

I learned so very much from this. I've never seen a basket done that way and can not wait to try it myself next season if I can find that type of basket. Thank you for such a thorough demonstration. Your selling price is unbelievably low. I would expect to pay twice that here in the USA.

That was just way too long, so I skipped to the end. I have found compost to be truly awful with the worst rubbish being miracle grow. I planted up my bedding using garden soil mixed with my own garden compost and some grit for drainage, with a dusting of blood fish and bone. It did the job but I would prefer to buy it. Research such yours is invaluable (even if protracted!)

How fun! Great experiment? Thanks for the laughter. It truly is a good medicine! Best not to give up your day job…😂

Lovely!! Thank you, for taking the time to patiently teach and to share your expertise.

I plant my own baskets up have no problems water at night and again early morning soak well 🌹🇬🇧

I really found this very informative and helpful. Loved the beautiful display if the baskets after. Thank-you very much Tim.

Did you just waste my time? Yes, you did.

Sheer splendour of nature on display!

Too slow not bothering to view

Makes me proud to be British

the way I gasped every time you cut any of the plants though!!!! can't wait to make my own next year ❤

Great video. I learned a lot of things that I can use in my own baskets right away. Never thought of cutting away the flowers, but that really makes sense. The style and colors however, thats personal i guess. I might be the only one here who dislikes 95 percent of them. In my opinion there are so many types and colors of plants that all try to steel the show that in the end its just one huge mess of color. I use 1, 2 or max 3 types of plants in coordinated colors. Or one type in several matching colors. So I would only choose purple and pink with white perhaps. Purple, pink and blue. Blue and white. Red, Oranje and yellow. Or even a purple and yellow combination. But in the thumbnail I see purple, pink, red, yellow, orange, all even in different shades and different types oh my. To me it looks like something ate several flower gardens and threw them all up in one basket haha. Sorry, tastes differ. I guess I'm too Dutch. More like the Proven Winner container recepies. But they sure look very healthy. Thanks for your thoroughly explanation.

What a fantastic video! Thank you so much all the way from Buckingham County Virginia. I'm going to try to make 2 matching ones

Absolutely gorgeous

Thanks for this Tim.. I love my hedgehogs but I also love my plants, this is really useful to know. And I didn't realise that slugs have 'little noses' 😂🤭

These are amazing, wish I lived nearby, do you ship? Best wishes and thanks for uploading 🙌👏

tl;dr ... peat wins. Personally I use a combination of well-rotted horse manure, peat moss compost, and fertiliser. I've tried various eco-friendly products over the years, and they just don't work. If I'm going to be spending a lot of time, money and effort on my garden, I need it to work. Simple.

So, one could cut up old woollen blankets that are past their useful life and cut out mats to go round the base of pot plants and plants in the ground. Slug Gone is expensive.

Someone boiled it 😂😂

Talvez esa palabras de carinos ''Chiqui'' son para despistar a la investigacion lo que estaba por suceder , porque estan grabadas y se quedan en el celular .

Brilliant! Thank you!

Top tip! Thank you.

Beautiful baskets❤ Thank you for taking the time to show us how to make them! From Illinois

New subscriber here! I'm just wondering what "tidy up the heel" means. Did you want part of where that stem attached? Or do you make a fresh cut below the node? What part is "safe" to tidy up?

Best hour spent watching you create the wonderful basket! Thank you for teaching me!

How often do you water it?

I loved your video! I've made several of this type luxurious basket, but never had the benefit of an in-depth video about how to do it. I just did it by myself, using flowering plants that can stand the hot, humid climate where I live. Your video was an excellent, step-by-step way to build a luxury hanging basket. Thank you!

I don’t like peat free compost as I sometimes have to water the pots twice a day and the water simply drains straight out. Even using a saucer underneath the pot is no good as peat free compost does not soak it up where peat compost would. To me, peat free compost is not environmentally friendly as I using more water than before.

Superb tutorial....top tip...play on X2 speed

what was the slow release fertiliser you used with the new horizon ???

Thank you. So beautiful!! Cant you start a basket anytime of year or best toake it a spring project? Florida USA here.

Wow thank you. So thorough and helpful. Ive always beem afraod to try a basket with moss amd now can't wait to.

Wow amazing ❤

WOW!! The Brits do it best 💜 ❤ 🇨🇦 ❤

hi im in ireland and cannot get those specific baskets,, do you sell them yourself?

thank you for sharing your video,, i will definately do this this year,, truly amazing!!!!!

Great turorial, great tips which ended up with an amazing hanging basket. I am very excited to start one of my own but this is probably too late in the season now to start one. Also because it is nearly impossible to find here in Portugal all the veriety of the tiny plants that you used. Do you send them over? Thank you

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

that is hideous...sorry too much not my taste or choice of a lovely flowers at all

so very interesting and I have been inspired to try this

Great video and tutorial! Would you please post a plant list, how many of each, and the size basket you're using? Thank you ❤

You got there in the end! Stop waffling!
