LINERS FOR HANGING BASKETS – WHY IS THE AMATEURS ANSWER A GOOD OPTION?

There are a number of reasons why the Amateurs Answer Lining System is such a good liner for hanging baskets. There are numerous characteristics that a liner needs to have to act as a suitable material for hanging basket lining. Below are details of what these key aspects are.

Our family has been in the business of making hanging baskets for over 25 years, so we have had a fair bit of experience of understanding what works and what doesn’t. At Cooks View Nursery, in North Yorkshire, we previously created and supplied thousands of hanging baskets for the public, most being made to order in the style of the customers choosing.

Our liner has been created to fulfil all the key requirements for creating the perfect hanging basket, no matter what the style. Many liners for hanging baskets possess some of these requirements, but not all… So, what makes it successful?

Drainage

The ability for the liner to drain water is so important. As with all containers for plants, water must pass through or the stagnated water will damage the plants.

Our Liners offers good drainage, helping sustain good health plant growth.

Material Strength

The Hanging Basket Liner must be strong. The weight of the compost, plus the every growing plants will test the strength of the liner.

The Amateur’s Answer Liner is light-weight but strong and durable. Not only will this see you through this season. This is a re-usable liner that can be used again.

Moisture retention

To save on constant summer watering, liners for hanging baskets need to retain moisture and lighten the load on you. Our liner offers good moisture retention to reduce repeated watering.

Thin Flexible Material

Ideally, a hanging basket liner needs to thin. Many aren’t and they can tend to take up too much room. This doesn’t leave enough room for plants to grow, particularly in 10-12” hanging baskets.

The Amateur’s Answer is very thin, allowing lots of room for growth.

Easy and Quick to fit

One of the best things that we liked about this liner is the easy and speed of fitting. This liner isn’t as easy to fit as a simple Coir liner, but you are not limited on basket styles, as you are with these more expensive alternatives.

Side Planting Ability

Side planting gives the basket a much fuller display and really catches the eye. So, if you are wanting to be more adventurous and need a liner that allows you to side plant, our liner is a great option.

Can’t be taken by Birds

The Amateur’s Answer strong material that doesn’t allow nesting birds to take it home. Coir and other similar liners can be easily stolen, leaving your basket in a sorry state.

Natural in Appearance

Many may disagree, but the appearance of everything in the garden is important. The liners for hanging baskets should not let you down on this, as it may still be visible after filling with plants.

The Amateur’s Answer hanging basket liner is a natural looking material. Dark green (non-shiny) in colour, blending in well with the garden.

Cost

Perhaps not an important consideration for all keen gardeners, but you may be pleased to learn that our liners are one of the most cost effective liners on the market. They are produced in the UK and readily available with FREE DELIVERY all year round.

WHAT SIZE LINER DO I NEED?

The great thing about our liner is that you cut it to fit your basket!

Our standard Liner fits any kind of basket up to 16” in Diameter.

Anyone can do it. Just follow the simple instructions that come with a pack of 3 liners and it will tell you all you need to know to successfully fit the liner in place.

Measure the basket across the top rim of the basket (directly across the middle). If this measurement is 16” (approx. 40cm) or less, then the standard liner will cover your basket.

These liners fit all kinds of different hanging baskets, so it doesn’t matter if the basket is a round bottomed wire frame, or a cone shaped wrought iron basket.. This liner can be used for every type.

If you are needing LINERS FOR LARGE HANGING BASKETS, you will need to order a SPECIAL LINER.

These liners are not only for hanging baskets, as they can be also be used to line large trough planters and window boxes too..

Generally, the material we will send will cover a 20” hanging basket, but if your hanging basket is slightly larger than this, then please contact us with the dimensions after you make your purchase.
