Things are getting woolly! Part 2


It doesn't look like much...perhaps a bit peculiar, but this is what the dark wool looks like in baskets...it was unwashed wool, and I didn't need to use as much as I thought I would need!  I did 7
 baskets---yes 7!  I emptied all of the soil out of them clogged with roots and will use them to fill the potato bags, and used the potato bag dirt for the hanging baskets!

Later I will add gel and fertilzer, and add the pansies I will receive...
Viola x wittrockiana (perennial pansies) that will trail out of these nice baskets around the house, garage, and gameroom! 

I decided to use perennials, to make it simpler and not worry about planting twice a year....will see how they look! If nothing else grows, these will!  the dark wool blends well, don't you think?

Things are getting wooly!

If any of you need raw wool for hanging baskets, birds, snails....I found a great organization with reasonable prices!

I am so thrilled....I got my nice black wool!

Here's a nice link about wool and snails...

It's funny how little things can be fun! I feel like I'm helping the "local" industry! 
I got bags of beautiful black wool, unwashed, for my black self-watering hanging baskets!  I will then use it for birds for their nests and for snails...(uggh!)

LOL!
