Many UK Greenhouses are now Imported from Asia

Because of the lower wages paid we are seeing more and more greenhouses being made and imported from Asia.

The best way to plant up hanging baskets is to do them in your greenhouses.  First get your basket or pot or whatever you are using and put in on a firm flat surface.  Then take your liner, this can be a shop bought liner or moss or you can use plastic to line, as long as you put some holes in the bottom for water to drain away.  Then carefully line your container.  Next put some compost in.

If you are planting around the sides of a hanging basket you can half fill with compost.  This will make it easier to plant the flowers around the sides.  When you have got the flowers planted around the sides you can fill the rest of the basket or pot with compost.  Then the flowers can be planted from the top.

It is always best to leave some space between plants as they will spread as they grow.  This can make a bit of a mess in the greenhouses but it is easily cleared up.
