EASY FILL BASKET
EASY FILL BASKET PLANTING GUIDE
THE EASY FILL HANGING BASKET Plant with grown-on plants using McDermott’s SwellGel & Feed and top-quality compost for best results.
STEP 1 Firstly, get a medium sized plant pot and place it on a table/ potting bench, and then place your Easy Fill basket on top. This will allow you to easily turn the basket, preventing plant damage.
STEP 2 Put the couple of handfuls of compost (to the level of the first planting holes) and a sprinkling of SwellGel & Feed into the bottom of the basket.
STEP 3 Then get one of your plants, and feed it through the first planting hole, so that the roots and any soil are inside the basket, and the foliage is on the outside (1).
STEP 4 There are some “Lattice Gates” in the box with your baskets.These clip into the planting holes of the basket to hold your plants in place. From the outside, place the gate over the planting hole – being careful not to trap any leaves – then click it into place. This will hold the plant with the roots inside and the leaves and flowers outside – in both cases perfectly unharmed! (2)
STEP 5 Repeat this process until all of the planting holes are planted up, adding more compost and another sprinkling of Swell Gel & Feed as you go. Create a mound of compost on top of your basket, then plant more plants here too. A 15” basket has room for 4 plants around the outside plus one in the middle. (3)
STEP 6 Finally, all you need to do is hang your basket up.You’ll notice a 4-Point chain in the box for each basket. Feed the chain through the apertures built into the rim of the basket, and then click the anchor on the end of the each chain into place. This will lock them in, so your basket will be safe and secure.
STEP 7 Water in your plants well, then as they need it, and then sit back and watch your plants grow into incredible displays – the best you’ve ever grown! (4)
