Step-by-step guidance

Good Soil for Thriving Planters.

Get good soil. Don't skimp!

Filling the bottom of the pot

I fill the bottoms of my larger pots with light weight items.

Determining what type of plants to use

The common saying : Thrill, Spill, and Fill plants.

Filler and Spiller Plants

Geraniums are my plant of choice as a combination of thrill and fill for my planters.

Tall Grasses

Grasses are my favorite tall "Thrill" plant.

Loosen the rootball

Makes sure you loosen and rough up the roots.

How many plants per container?

I overplant mine. I just visually make sure the plants have room to grow and fill. My WI grow season is short!
