It takes approximately 10 litres of a good quality
multipurpose compost, with added slow release fertiliser. 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 until you come to the top
holes in the bag, add compost to the top of bag and insert
plants in remainder of holes do not add plant to the top of the bag at this
point. Lie the bag flat after being planted, in the greenhouse or similar for about 2 weeks,
this will allow the plants to establish 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 until the compost is fully
moist.
