Hanging Flower Bags Information

It takes approximately 10 litres of compost. The compost should be added to approx one third of the bag, watered to let the compost settle and plants for the lower holes inserted. Then add more compost, water and add more plants untill you come to the top holes in the bag, add compost to the topof bag and insert plants in remainder of holes do not add plant to top of bag at this point.Lie bag flat after being planted in greenhouse or similar for about 2 weeks to let the plants establish, hang the bag up and insert plants into top of bag.
Do not try to overfill bag with compost as this tends to compact compost and can also lead to bag splitting. The bag should not be round but more flat so it hangs flat against wall, trellis, post etc. The bag can be hung from a suitable nail, screw, bracket etc. Care should be taken so as not to over-water, as flower bags tend to retain more moisture than hanging baskets. In the event of your flower bag drying out just lay it in a tray of water untill the compost is fully moist.
