Here’s a video with a weird provenance. It features a lady in Trono Zoo, Canada telling us how to fling together a flower container in a basket that will last all spring and summer long. Thing is, the video was posted on LiveVideopedia by someone called Shaktee in Israel. The internet is truly a wonderful thing.
Optimism is the watchword of this 2:32 minute video. The botanical expert (Jennifer Reynolds, Landscape Designer and Editor-in-Chief of Canadian family magazine) grabs a basket, lines it with plastic, punches some holes in the bottom, fills it with potting soil containing a coconut primer and lots of additives, and then proceeds to put bulbs, shrubs, perennials and annuals, even roses, into the basket to create what can be politely described as a patchwork arrangement of colors and textures. Ms Reynolds says that all we need to do is add liquid fertilizer so that the basket lasts all season long like that — healthy, colorful and verdant. Maybe in Trono Zoo but not in my house or garden.
