Hi Andrea, I am in awe of your basket already, the plants look great and it was a good idea to put them all together. I am interested in the basket and liner, having looked long and hard at the liners with holes already in them in the Kinsman catalog. So you had to add moss anyway, so much for the fake liners. The burlap idea is excellent and will be tried here for sure. :-)

Laura – you’re brilliant! I never thought of using burlap. That would look totally charming. I think you could even throw it on the compost pile when it was too far gone to be reused. And you could pick up burlap bags at the coffee shop for free. (Oh, I’m scheming now! May have to plant up another basket just to try this.)

I’m having that same problem this year. One of my baskets has zucchini growing in it. Why not!? I love the look of the moss planters, the faux liners… not so much. One of my baskets has a burlap insert. The look of it isn’t as nice as moss, but way better than the green liners. Plus its reusable!
