FAQs

What size hanging basket is this liner for?

This liner is specifically designed to fit 40cm diameter hanging baskets, such as hayracks.

How does the 'WaterSave' layer work?

The WaterSave layer is a specially designed base that acts as a reservoir, absorbing and slowly releasing water to the plant's roots, thus reducing the frequency of watering needed.

Will this liner fit any 40cm basket?

It is designed to fit most standard 40cm diameter hanging baskets and wall planters. A snug fit is recommended for optimal performance.

Is this liner reusable?

The liner is made from biodegradable coco fibre. While it can be used for one growing season, it is designed to decompose naturally over time and may need replacement for subsequent seasons.

How does the overflow feature benefit my plants?

The integral built-in overflow prevents overwatering and root saturation by allowing excess water to drain away. This helps maintain healthier growing conditions and prevents root rot.

Is this product environmentally friendly?

Yes, the liner is made from biodegradable coco fibre, making it an eco-friendly choice for your gardening needs.

Can I use this liner for any type of plant?

Yes, this liner is suitable for a wide variety of plants commonly grown in hanging baskets, including flowers and trailing plants.

Troubleshooting

Plant appears wilted despite liner

Check if the liner has dried out completely during prolonged heat. While the WaterSave layer helps, extreme conditions may still require manual watering. Ensure the overflow is not blocked, allowing water to reach the roots effectively.

Excessive water pooling around the basket

Verify that the integral overflow feature is clear and not obstructed. If the basket is placed on a solid surface without drainage, ensure there is adequate airflow and consider using a gravel tray or elevating the basket.

Liner seems to be degrading too quickly

This is a natural process for biodegradable materials. The lifespan depends on environmental conditions. If premature degradation is suspected, ensure the basket is not exposed to constant harsh chemicals or excessively wet conditions beyond its designed capacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces the need for frequent watering thanks to the WaterSave layer.
  • Eco-friendly and biodegradable material.
  • Prevents overwatering with its built-in overflow feature.
  • Contributes to healthier plant roots and overall growth.
  • Specifically sized for common 40cm hanging baskets.

Cons

  • Only suitable for 40cm baskets, limiting its use with other sizes.
  • May require occasional top-ups during extreme heatwaves despite the WaterSave feature.
  • Biodegradable nature means it will eventually decompose and need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

To set up, simply place the 40cm Tom Chambers Hanging Basket Liner inside your existing 40cm diameter hanging basket or wall planter. Ensure it fits snugly against the sides. Add your potting compost and plants as usual. The liner is compatible with most standard 40cm wire or plastic hanging baskets and wall planters. To care for the liner, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. After the growing season, the liner can be removed and composted. If reusing for a new season, inspect for any significant wear and tear before replanting. It is designed for outdoor use.
