How to plant a summer hanging basket - The Pizza Method! This method uses easy to follow steps to make a beautiful basket. I include plants that I suggest grow well in each section of the basket and secret ingredients and tips to help it look fantastic all summer. I have been making baskets for customers for over 15 years and love to help people create their own.
Details of the plants I use and a simple guide are in the blog in this link.

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it. I imagine the temperatures might be different for you so I wonder if you use different plants?

@theflowerwriter 2 года назад

Thank you. I love the summer bedding. They are so bright and beautiful.

@nazsiddiqi3885 3 месяца назад

I have watched many videos and I think yours is by far the best. Super helpful and I am off now to the garden centre with my list. I have around 10 baskets to plant. I will definitely be back to let you know how it went. Thx again.

@theflowerwriter 3 месяца назад

I look forward to that. Thank you.

@glgardener4972 Год назад

Lovely. I am going to purchase larger hanging baskets this year. The smaller ones do not have enough soil in them to keep them going. Lovely arrangement and flowers.

@theflowerwriter Год назад

Totally, especially with peat free. It will take more watering and feeding these days. But it is good to look after the planet.

@mayarada2059 2 года назад

I am new to gardening. So this was a perfect introduction. Thank you

@tinarichardson5107 2 года назад

Hi, if I did use a 12 inch hanging basket for a summer display do I use 3 trailing plants round the basket, upright in the middle and 3 uprights as the fillers? Loved watching this video, some really good advice, thank you x

@theflowerwriter 2 года назад

Thank you. I really enjoy doing baskets and I hope you do too.

@theflowerwriter 2 года назад

@@tinarichardson5107 yes that is exactly what I would do. However as the season goes on and if you are planting late May early June you might find that the plants in the garden centre have grown bigger so you might not need so many. Just go with the flow! They flowers always look gorgeous.

@tinarichardson5107 2 года назад

Thank you Ruth for your reply, your video is amazing x

@christinamendoza7474 2 года назад

Thank you for this video! I loved how you provided plant lists for your beautiful selection and the music was nice too. I'm now ready to head to my neighborhood garden center.

@theflowerwriter Год назад

Thank you for your kind comment. I am glad you found the plant lists helpful.

What a delicious pizza! ❤️

@theflowerwriter 2 года назад

I like the edible ones too!

@sondragramse1770 3 месяца назад

Have you ever cut holes (small) and have plants trail out of the bottom. I would sew up the hole loosely to prevent soul seepage. I saw that on another video

@theflowerwriter 3 месяца назад

Yes I do that if it is for a pub or hotel where their baskets are often up high. Customers have a different view of the bottom of the basket so it means they can appreciate the flowers more. If you are going to do that though you need to make sure that the basket is big enough. I would recommend at least a 16" basket, otherwise there is not enough compost to sustain the flowers on top and the underplanting. I hope that helps.

@ciaratrotman4973 3 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing. How do I start if I have a plastic basket?

@theflowerwriter 3 месяца назад

You just need to do the same. In some ways plastic baskets in summer are better because the water does not evaporate through the sides. However if you are in the UK you will be likely to be using peat free compost. I have made another video about how to use peat free. There is a risk in a container with no holes at the bottom that the water sits and creates a 'soggy bottom'! Follow my tips on how to check for that. If the base stays wet the roots will rot and the plants won't thrive. I hope this helps.

@sal1563 4 года назад

So much fantastic advice!!!

@theflowerwriter 2 года назад

Thank you. :-)

@LizEudy 5 месяцев назад

That is a really beautiful basket. I am just learning, but how can flowers that crowded with so little soil grow? It seems like they would need some room for the roots to go somewhere.

@theflowerwriter 5 месяцев назад

Good question. There is a bit of room for them to grow but they will only be growing for a few months over summer. Once they have grown into the space these 'summer bedding plants' will put all their energy into flowering prolifically. Then once there is a frost they will die (so there is no need for more space to grow).

@nazsiddiqi3885 2 месяца назад

Do you have any tips on how to control slugs ?

@theflowerwriter 2 месяца назад

Slugs have been a big problem this year in the UK because we have had a lot of rain and they love the damp. Hopefully they haven't managed to reach your hanging basket! I like environmentally friendly controls such as wool pellets or copper around your plants.

@patterdalezipsuzilil 2 месяца назад

What about perlite for retaining water

@joeygagliardi7380 2 года назад

Awesome,, however Begonias do not like the sun,, as all the other varieties do. We have no luck with Begoniiias in the sun,, Ever. Thanks for the Great Video. here in 2021

@theflowerwriter 2 года назад

Yes, this is for a mixed basket. In the UK I have always found that they are OK in moderation. If you are planting in hot, bright sunny conditions I would suggest geraniums. They are the most forgiving. I have made a video all about a shade hanging basket and talk about using non-stop and illumination begonias there. Thank you very much for your comments. :-)

@proclaimingchrist8454 Год назад

Do you know the name of the background music? Very relaxing.

@theflowerwriter Год назад

Thank you. I will try and find out for you.

@proclaimingchrist8454 Год назад

@@theflowerwriter Thanks! Great video too :) !

@coolsuly5365 2 года назад

Hello Ruth, where can I find that kind of hanging baskets ? thanks

@theflowerwriter 2 года назад

Hi there! I think that most garden centres here in the UK stock this type of basket. To be honest, just plant in a basket that you like. It is your chance to choose what you like the look of. The most important thing is not to use one that is too small.
