::Hanging Baskets::

I got this great tip from Mark Bowering of Bowering Ponds and Gardens:

Line the bottom of you hanging basket with a diaper- yes, I said diaper!!!

This only works if you are making the baskets yourself of course.  Open the diaper up, spread it as wide as possible. Remove the thin top guaze layer so the fuzz is exposed.  Put you soil and plants on top!  The diaper will retain moisture so the basket will not dry out as quickly.  I still recommend watering everyday throughout the summer. If you forget, your diaper will act as a back up!
