Title: Hanging Baskets?
Post by: KevB on April 11, 2007, 12:10:55

How many plants roughly for a 12",14" or even a 16" basket. i dont want to overfill or underfill. There must be some type of guideline, i've filled many a basket, but never sure if I overdo it! (Probaly do!)
Thanks Kev

I think alot depends upon what you are putting in them i.e. how much they spread!!

I only use half round wall baskets (they don't dry out as quickly) and I put in on average 12-18 plants per basket.

This is how I do mine http://tinyurl.com/3cywtr and there are a few photograps of past years baskets.
