How do you incorporate drainage layers into fabric outdoor flower box designs?
Incorporating drainage layers into fabric outdoor flower box designs is essential for maintaining healthy plants. Start by selecting a high-quality fabric planter with built-in drainage holes or the ability to add them. Place a layer of coarse gravel or pebbles at the bottom to prevent soil compaction and improve water flow. Next, add a permeable landscape fabric over the gravel to keep soil from clogging the drainage layer. Finally, fill the box with well-draining potting mix suited for your plants. This simple yet effective method ensures proper aeration and prevents root rot, making your fabric flower box both functional and stylish.
