I take my baskets down and put them in a bucket for half an hour - saves wasting loads of time and water! Few quid buckets from b and q, half fill them, stick them in until thoroughly soaked. I find if you do it this way they go longer between waterings, as its genuinely absorbed as much as it can.

I have been using coconut husk and they work fantastic. You can buy them in brick form and add water to the brick then let it dry out and add to your dirt. I also add slow release fertilizer and that really works well if you over water your baskets. I don’t over water because it will rot the roots. Hope this help.

A number of years ago I commented on a neighbour's beautiful hanging baskets (he was a nurseryman) and how they always looked fresh and lush, even during hot spells. What he told me really surprised me. He used to sprinkle a tablespoon of wallpaper paste into the compost when he assembled each basket. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. That was why he only had to keep the compost moist and watered his baskets twice a week on average.

I do the following: I fill the basket up until I have a flat surface that I can place a plant pot saucer inside the hanging basket. I then cover the saucer with a mix of coconut coir and compost. Followed by the plants and more compost as usual . The thinking is that coir absorbs a lot of water and it remains aerobic even when wet.

Hello again Mr. Tony! I used to work in a Garden Center and I used to have 2 or 3 buckets filled with water and I used to put the hanging basket down in the buckets for 5 or 10 minutes and then hang them back up. This is especially good if the basket has dried out too much although you will have to leave them in the bucket longer. I will also use a moisturizer control potting mix with fertilizer in it. Not organic but then I am not eating the flowers!

A tomato Topsy Turvy was given to us years ago as a gift. I'm finally going using it this year and was looking for a way to keep from constantly having to water it in our Texas heat. One of the comments gave me an idea. I punched 4 small holes about an inch down from the crown of a liter soda bottle with an ice pick and threaded twine through them to reach into the bottom of the bottle and hang out the length of the Topsy Turvy. As I filled the planter I buried the bottle in the center with the twine throughout the potting soil. I'm hoping that this will act as a water reservoir and wicking system.

I just found your channel and found it very helpful and informative. I did wonder if it's possible to turn your baskets into a semi sub irrigated Reservoir wicking basket. The reason is I use wicking pots for a lot of my containers to grow things. I think the same system could be modified to work for hanging baskets. Just put a liner in the bottom 3 to 4 in with a drain hole 4 in up from the bottom it would give you the opportunity to fill the water in and keep waking up to the top and The Roots will grow deep. Just a thought. My other containers usually go 3 to 4 weeks between waterings. I would think at least a week with this method for hanging basket. They are a lot of work to set up but definitely pay off in the end

Thanks Tony. I use pieces of well rotted tree limbs in my baskets and containers. I prefer the wood that has become spongy but any rotten untreated wood up to about 1 1/4" diameter will work as long as it doesn't have ants in it. It doesn't work as well as the silica gel but it's free. Plus it decomposes into compost. Chunks of water soaked corn cobs work well too. Much Love

I tried the nappy trick on those shallow clay pots. It really stunted the growth of the plants. Used it the next year but broke it down some. Same thing happened.. I'd suggest using organic diapers, nappys perhaps. I gave up on the nappy idea.. I did use the water Crystal's but to exspensive for all my pots. It did work better though. I now use part of a compost bag in the bottom of my plants. It holds a little extra water but not to much. Also seems to insulate the roots some. I've had same hanging pots for 3 years in zone 8 with annuals. That's a win.. still drying out to much late summer though

Only just watched this video today (June 2020). Sitting here thinking of a means to save time, water, money and have great results in flower production in hanging baskets. What if we placed a large cereal bowl in the bottom of the basket, or a circular piece of dpc (damp proof membrane) as a means to allow excess water to overflow out of the basket, but have a "shallow" bowl of water that would keep back enough water for the media to re absorb. Obviously, dpc or bowl should NOT hold more water than the media can hold as standing water would occur causing root rot.

It seems redundant to use a macramé type hanger in order to place a saucer under the planter base.

Its much like a year old coco liner substance.

Ty for the tip about the water crystals, I had never heard of it. I used it for the first time today. Interested to see what happens. Happy summer,😀👋🧋

Spooky! I am having this problem with a couple of my hanging baskets. It's the first time i have ever done them and find they dry out so quickly. Will be getting some crystals to help, especially as we are supposed to be having a really warm summer this year here in the UK :)

Yeah we are going to have a roaster this year get them in before the plants grow and you will be fine
