Plant large flower tubs and make drainage

Spring has arrived, as well as the planting season. I have some big flower tubs, when they are filled with soil and plants, they are very heavy. Since it's good to have drainage, I've put pebbles in the bottom, it was just too hard for me.

The next year, I got the idea: I've done flowpack in nets where potatoes, carrots, onions, etc. were in there, tied and put in the bottom of the tubs. Earth on it and the plant set.

Now has 3 advantages:

  • Flower tub is lighter
  • you need less earth
  • you have a drainage
