PLANTOPIA - Easy Fill Hanging Basket demonstration.




A great step by step how-to video as well a recipe to produce a beautiful hanging basket. Get your own today at www.plantopiaflowerpots.com - where shipping is only $5 and free with a $50 order.

Save 22% through 5/22 using promo code "SPRING2SUM"

NOTE: The basket pictured in the video is essentially our 14" version though slightly different. The U.K. model in the video has open gates to allow for more wind penetration to balance the moisture in the basket which is more necessary due to the more humid climate there. In the U.S., with generally less humid climates, the gates are closed to increase moisture retention. The U.K. version also has 12 gates as opposed to the U.S/Canada version having 8 gates. The 8 gates produce the same booming results but you don't have to use as many plants to fill it!

Grow Your Own Food With Plantopia

In a time where the organic gardening and food movement is at an all-time high, people are shopping with more pointed lists and paying attention to more details about what kinds of food they're consuming each day. From GMO's to Gluten-Free, from All-Natural to Wholesome, sifting through the jargon can be a full-time task to finally find some food that is undoubtedly good for you. Tracking which company uses what chemicals and which food brands utilize various terminology and lingo to tweak their message and what gets hidden in the fine print, multi-syllabic vocabulary and clever packaging can make finding something actually good for you harder than finding Waldo in the dark. Depending on where you live, gardening can be a fairly sustainable way to complement your food purchases and you certainly don't have to put on the B.S. filter for yourself if you've grown your own food to know what you're eating.




However, not everyone has access to a garden space or has a green thumb to determine a layout or means to setup their own garden. While planting seeds and doing the follow up to ensure that they're watered and receiving sunlight is not overly daunting, sometimes to get the space in the backyard to garden can be quite the arduous task. A quick project could turn into a weed pulling contest not to mention dealing with the critters who could easily invade your space. Is there a more efficient way to grow your own food? The answer is yes!

Plantopia hanging baskets allow you to grow fruits, herbs and vegetables. Use our 14" basket for tomatoes or strawberries. Our 12" version is great for herbs or lettuce. Go crazy with different ideas such as a salsa basket by including tomatoes, jalapenos and cilantro! Plantopia hanging baskets are available online at the follow retailers:
