Troubleshooting
Liner doesn't fit basket
Confirm your wire basket is exactly 35.5cm (14") in diameter. This liner is sized specifically for this dimension.
Compost seems to be drying out too quickly
While the liner retains water, very hot weather can still dry it out. Ensure adequate watering and consider adding water-retaining crystals to your compost mix if issues persist.
Liner appears to be degrading mid-season
This is uncommon with proper use. Ensure the liner is not exposed to harsh chemicals. If degradation occurs, replace the liner to maintain plant health.
