FLOWER-NASTURTIUM-TRAILING MIX is perfect for those gardeners beginning their flower adventure because these are just so easy to grow. A brilliant mix of reds, yellows, and oranges look wonderful cascading from hanging baskets and over garden edges
Sow outdoors in baskets or pots. Thin out young plants when the seedlings are large enough to handle. They flower most freely in full sun & poor dryish soils. I line my baskets, over the top of the coir and underneath the soil, with a cut out to size garbage bag – this is so the soil doesn’t lose moisture after watering.

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
