what can i use to line hanging baskets? i was thinking scrap fabric. it's just to hold the compost in but let it be fairly free draining lol!

thanks!

I use an old holey carrier bag with a few more holes poked through (with an old knitting needle) for drainage. They are the plain blue ones that are used on our local market so not too garish!

A compost bage turned inside out is often black so that would work too, but don't forget to make holes!

Fabric seems a bit extravagant to me...but I'm a keen patchworker, my left over bits are tiny!!!

Go to the woods and collect moss!!!

If you're not in a raring hurry, Mrs F, I can send you some fresh moss from the garden - we have LOADS of ground sphagnum here - and tree sphagnum too, although there's less bugs in the ground stuff!

Let me know if you want some

We have used old natural clothes mostly finished with jumpers in the past, works really well

what good idea`s here,saves me buying them,thanks

Fab ideas!! I was thinking about the same thing, as I have quite a few to do.

Hubby has just reminded me that someone once knitted a basket liner for a telly gardener....maybe you could crochet one, complete with planting holes?!
