The foundation of containers and baskets

The foundation of containers and baskets

February 8th, 2012 

Spring is just around the corner and soon people want to put together their container gardens and baskets.  The foremost concern with a container or basket is the soil that is used. 

The two main problems with container soils are that it can be too heavy of a soil, which tends to break the hanger, or it just constantly dries out.  The best soil is a light, porous soil that has extremely high water retention and is high in organic matter and nutrients.

Using the proper soil will help generate beautiful and healthy baskets and containers.
