Hanging baskets instantly add colour and life to your garden. Follow these five easy steps to create the best hanging basket for your plants.
Step 1: Palm peat : Place a palm peat brick into a 10 litre container and add three litres of lukewarm water. Once the palm peat has absorbed the water, break it up and squeeze out the excess water. Your palm peat is now ready to use. Mix a third of palm peat with your potting soil.
Step 2: Hydrocache: Place one spoon of hydrocache, add to container and add one litre of water. Mix the hydrocache and water together until it forms a gel.
Step 3: Bone meal: Place one handful of bone meal into the soil of your hanging basket. Add two handfuls of palm peat and three spoons of hydrocache to your basket and mix together.
Step 4: Kelpak: Add the bottle of Kelpak (natural liquid seaweed concentrate) to a container together with the same amount of water. Dip the roots of the plants into the Kelpak mixture and plant into your basket.
Step 5: Nutrifeed: Add two spoons of Nutrifeed to a watering can filled with water and stir well. Water the plants in your hanging basket. Repeat every two weeks.
