back to frequently asked questions
can I put soil in the flower bag?
  • it is essential to use a good quality potting mix or potting compost.
  • we have used several types. we have achieved consistent results with "debco" terra cotta and tub mix. it is a lightweight mix and has fertilizer nutrients that will last a couple months.
  • do not expect good results using $2 potting mixes without adding fertilizers, etc.
  • approximately 7 and 1/2 litres of mix fills the bag. some settlement will occur after the bag is hung in position. just top up and put a plant in the top if desired.

good gardening advice applies, if re-potting a plant in the flower bag wash it out with a sterilizing agent. your local nursery can advise you on suitable products.
