    Oooo, you just reminded me, I have one of those that is still in the box from a couple of years ago, was a sainsburgs end of season bargain. Do I need to line it with something like a hanging backet? And if so, what did you find was best? Think I might put it up this year, as am growing flowers for the first time (I usually just grow things that I can safely put in my mouth. )

    I bought some coir liners about 5 years ago (these are loved by the birds for nest building, so over the years, they've rather pulled them about and stolen bits, well, rather a lot now!). Then I line it (and slightly overwrap the top of the rack), with a heavy duty bin liner. Trim to fit. Make drainage holes towards the lower edge of the sides. I don't tend to put holes in the bottom, as the water would drain too freely.

    I mix tub/basket soil, with moisture holding pellets, and feed pellets.

    My Lucozade shop worked today. Someone did cherry yesterday? I guess we could replace rasp with cherry?

    1 orange and 1 cherry worked for me yesterday. Today my closest sada didn't have any lucozade sport at all that I could find. I should have gone to the next bigger one but visitors on their way.

    Couldn't have put it better myself... although I tried... badly :o

    They have on at my local, and there is a lovely wren who nests in it every year. Amazing really as it is right next to the door, so a really busy area.
