This morning I was on air with Darren James and Jane Edmonson on radio station 3AW. Of course it was Sunday morning on their show The Big Backyard. It was also the day after one of the biggest storms to hit Melbourne in years and there was certainly some damaged gardens reported out there, particularly in Eastern suburbs.
It was also the last show for Darren and Jane at the South Melbourne studios, as next week they move into a new building in the city. It was kind of weird, because there was quite a bit of water damage at the station, so somebody up stairs must have been saying its time to move on!
I did have a strange looking pot on the show that is adjustable, and sits on fences. It was certainly very hard to descibe on radio, and Darren did not take a fancy to it at all. It has been huge in Europe however and is particularly good in small gardens, increasing your capacity to grow herbs and flowers. I did mention we would put it on the blog, so here it is here:
The pot is quite good with water because it doesn't drain out until it gets to about 5cm in depth. If you don't overwater it, the water should not flow out much at all. This is all good, because hanging baskets are notorious for drying out.
The pot is called a Corsica Flower Bridge and we have it available at the nursery in four colours and they are $19.95.
