What is the best type of hanging basket for the home gardener?
The Best Types of Baskets.
Wire baskets have the benefit that the sides as well as the tops can be planted.
Solid sided baskets do not tend to dry out so much and naturally use only one third of the plants.
There are benefits in both types, but remember well grown plants will cover the basket sides , so do not choose a "fancy" basket.....It will not be seen.
One good point to remember is choose the largest size of basket that you can cope with. Baskets less than 12" will dry out very quickly and do not have the impact of larger types.
