Wanted to show you all this little number. I have had this magazine rack from my MIL ever since we cleaned out her house. Some years I plant in it, some I don't, mostly because getting a liner is a pain in the butt. So this year I think I had a brilliant idea. Wanted to share it with you all because you may have some openwork containers like this that you don't use. I hate the coco fiber liners. They are thick and clumsy and hard to get to fit. So my solution was to take a roll of weed fabric that I had. Cut off a piece. Line the planter. Fill with soil. Trim the edges and just tuck them inside the soil and BINGO! Instant liner. The soil can breathe and drain and for me it is a whole lot more unobstrusive that the other options. Hope you can see it. The sun is really out right now.
