Calming classical music, a sweet Fairy Godmother-like lady who talks to you in soothing tones and a lush outdoor garden setting - this is literally the recipe for the perfect instructional gardening video

[@Zincink]

What an superb basket tutorial. It always seems the Brits are so precise with their teaching. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@risingwarrior9937]

I think this lady knows a lot about gardening. Love her garden. Love the accent. Seems 2 know what she's doing.

[@theoriginalkeepercreek]

I love your baskets Katherine. I just wish you had a pic of the basket after they have been growing a bit, to see the final effect. Thanks for the info and the tips. Never knew I could do this with the lobelias!

[@noelemery5904]

To make planting in the sides of baskets easier just toll your plants in a wide strip of paper or newspaper then push through the sides, remove paper and this helps prevent damage to plants and roots!

[@dannusmk1578]

What is it that you recommend to do? I tried what she did. I Pulled the plants and destroyed the roots.

[@dannusmk1578]

@Noel Emery.. What specifically did you recommend to do in order to keep the root. I did what she did and failed.

Great tutorial for the new gardener, thank you👏👏

[@SilverlineToolsTV]

You're welcome, have you checked out our new video on how to plant fruit and veg in hanging baskets?

[@mamamadie320]

This is awesome. A very thorough tutorial for beginners such as me

[@kathrynossoff9524]

You have explained everything I need to do to have a beautiful hanging basket perfectly. Thank you so much.

[@cynthiaborden4209]

Thank you for a wonderful demonstration. Very informative

[@SilverlineToolsTV]

You're welcome!

[@susiefairchildlott2764]

Can't wait to try this! I just wish she would either move the pot closer to the bag of soil...or the bag of soil on the table.

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

Susie Fairchild Lott she could just tip the bag in much easier

[@chetanasantoshkumar4676]

Awesome idea to insert small lobelias through the small around the basket👌

[@TiggerKitty49]

Wish people would make this first part then finish making the video when the plants have grown so people could see how it turns out

[@bestforthegarden419]

Thank you Katherine. Love this basket - I get so fed-up of baskets which only look full at the end of the growing season. Thank you.

[@kennybrown8586]

Mine look good when I buy them, nice and full. Then they get stragley and thin and look terrible,. Should the flower heads be picked off as they die? Thanks

[@cantomoseethissub9706]

Knackered a trailing lobelia doing this way today, so rammed them through from the outside. Job done.

[@lynngroll1]

That turned out absolutely Beautiful 🥰

[@bradm7046]

Excellent, thank you, I was struggling with a window box after a disappointment last year and not really knowing anything about gardening. Most of the videos I found were USA based.

[@SilverlineToolsTV]

Hi Brad, Happy to help! Let us know how your window box's go this year with the hashtag #silverlinetools 🌻

[@EccentricNature]

So so true about the compost! Always worth buying the better stuff.

[@raechelyndawn2580]

Love your accent!!! Move your basket close to the potting soil and you will eliminate a lot of your work and mess. 💙

[@zeenat484]

[@SUN7SHINE25]

[@silvertonguedaywalker9116]

This lovely lady is new to me, x will be following, move the baket closer to the edge lol x

[@ah3690]

Wonderful video

[@eamonnbarrett7995]

Thanks, so easy to follow instructions & information

[@Riley-vb9rr]

After you’ve watered the lobelia, the root ball is easily squished flatter that then can be pushed through. Then I fluff the roots out and put compost all around to give them a head start with branching out. Better root development.

[@maxharrison44]

Would have love to see before and after

[@rodcahoon3966]

Great ideas, thanks.you seem like a very interesting person with much knowledge. Keep up the good work.

[@markdieter1511]

Very well done all way round.

[@JeffreysLittleVilla]

Great tips!! ...

[@aussiewildswimmingadventur1424]

Tried this today thanks for video ❤️

[@lindahandley5267]

If I were a little plant, I'd want you to handle me! I actually cheated today. I went to Walmart to get some plants to make a 'thriller/filler/spiller, but they honestly had some of the most beautiful potted plants that I've seen in a long time, so went ahead and bought several. Home Depot usually has the 'thrillers' already made up too that are gorgeous. I don't have really good ground, (without a LOT of work amending it), and this arthritis doesn't like me digging, so my yard and around the house still looks really pretty. I love the idea of how you cut the holes in the coconut husk! Do you make the 'spherical hanging baskets' too?

[@JM-bt1jq]

Beautiful. Thank you!

[@andrewjames6676]

Jolly nice presentation Katherine! I've found that calibrachoa are splendid long-lived performers in hanging baskets - and they come in a good range of colours too. I usually have about 35 baskets and they never disappoint.

[@KiranPanwarVlogs.]

Excellent

[@maximumyarnage]

Absolutely must have more videos by you. I'm your newest fan! Learned so much in just a few videos. Please make more gardening videos! Please!

Very Nice Indeed! Thank You.

[@hannahhannah1938]

Love the video thanks for sharing 💕💕💕💕💕

[@kattyk6370]

Excelent expo💝

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

For hanging baskets the general rule is to use one plant per inch of basket diameter - so 12 plants per 12 inch basket. You'll only need 5 plants per 12 inch hanging basket for bigger plants like Geraniums (Pelargoniums), Surfinia Petunias, culinary herbs and Fuchsias

[@Ishisah]

Ok, ok, I love her 💕.

[@aliciacromwell6490]

[@spectralboogie462]

Thanks for the great tutorial. i want to build a frame over my bathtub and have plants hanging down. do you think if i line the base of the hanging frame with coir and cut holes in the coir for my succulents, air plants and bromeliads, that will work?? or will the compost fall out too much?

[@hindikahani7478]

Which month should e we start planting the basket?

[@mylittlegarden2887]

thnxx dear

[@happyfamily8624]

Nice video I like it.

[@kennybrown8586]

Last year I bought a planter of Paper White flowers, after blooming, I let the greenery die down. Then cut it off. This spring it resprouted, and is growing nicely. Tall stalks, no flower stems, just green leaves, why? What can I do? Thanks 😊

[@DelisaRenideo]

This was fabulous! I have a question: Can I use old horse manure mixed into the soil when I'm planting? I sometimes worry about adding too much nitrogen to the soil when planting flowers as I understand I may end up with all greenery and no flowers. But I have lots and lots of horse manure available -- and if you can use the pelleted chicken manure, seems like it would be okay, Thanks in advance for your reply!

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

Delisa Renideo use rotted down manure not fresh

[@1Sweetness]

can you hang these indoors or would it take something on the outside to hold it in?

[@bridgetgrimes1701]

[@vanessaneill8817]

What size basket is this? Could I put 10 trailing pansies in a 12in basket on the sides, then do 4 or 5 on top? Or would that be too much for a 12 in basket?

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

Vanessa Neill use 14 holds more water and compost

[@stephenpiercy7915]

When do you buy and plant them?

[@skinbackyourpeel]

Are you sure this is the Silverline tools channel and not Westland garden products?

[@naluaa1]

Well i have tried 3 pairs of scissors and a stanley knife and I cant get do the holes, so reverted to plastic bags!

[@colbradford9886]

Would be good to see. List of the plants used

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

Col Bradford she mentioned them in the beginning

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

[@patmolnar8810]

Please show a picture after the season is near. Not just on this video, but all the ones you do.

[@Arzooghazel]

Never mind. I got it.

[@SuperTahira123]

Fantastic. Please come to my house!!

[@selangsia]

its so hard to find these flowers here in california. imagine 1plug is like $4-5. theyre not really selling 1.5 inch plugs in homedepot or lowes. sometimes they have 6 plugs for $7 but only limited. the trailing pansies, cascading petunia, trailing vinca anything trailing, they dont sell it cheap and not even available. so it's like when u make your own it will cost you over $30bucks. So im stuck with allysum, lobella, regular petunia, regular geraniums, regular impatiens. If you buy it online on ebay, they're not selling to california buyings bcoz of excess shipping cost. it's like wth??? :-/

[@nirmalaisnoo5515]

[@queenofbeauty6014]

Hi

[@janetkellykelly4250]

Why does'nt she move the pot near to the bag of soil

[@luciedumont4337]

J'aimerais avoir se cite en français svp

[@hawkeye-vv4kb]

Almost all your plants seems to be root-bound. Should one not thin out that mess of roots before planting?

Trying to concentrate on what's she is saying while the orchestral music is playing is not easy 🥴

[@Ishisah]

“...of the decade,” reeeeeally? 🤔

[@rcc3574]

I feel that she was most likely told by the director to mention it. Notice that she's not comfortable when doing so.

[@sunnyrider100]

Wish you could write all those FLowers down.

[@silverpoof]

Informative video, but her pronunciation of compost was like nails on a chalkboard.......compust ....compust.....compust.....compust.....PUUUUST.

[@dddandruff]

I bet she grows dank ganja
