Found Great Container Liner that Retains Moisture

In January I found the best product to line window boxes and wrought iron planters. This heavy green material is slow to absorb water so the moisture will collect near the roots of your planting longer. After soaking up the excess water will drain  away leaving the perfect balance of water and oxygen needed for beautiful flowering plants.

You know it is not perfect… you will still need a good fertilizer. I like using granular time released fertilizers like Osmocote in addition to the boost you get with Miracle Grow type liquid fertilizers. Gardening is so much fun!

Annuals for Spring and Summer

During spring and summer, annual flowers add beauty to a garden or exterior location. However with a garden full of perennials, shrubs, and trees it’s sometimes difficult to find a location for them. To have the opportunity to appreciate annuals without uprooting your garden, garden planters or pots are a solid option.  These can be placed on your porch, driveway, or hung down from the roof, and are easy to move out once the annuals have been bitten by the first frost.

Outdoor planters are available empty, or sometimes in spring and summer come pre-filled with annuals and other flowers.

Functionality is also important so choose a garden planter that has plenty of depth to add rich potting soil. Maybe the most important thing is to make sure the vessel has a drain hole. Your plant’s roots need oxygen to survive so draining the water is very important. Your flowers and their roots will love you for it.
