Adding window boxes is an easy way to add charm to your home. You can fill the window box with annual blooming plants and change them out every season or plant kitchen herbs and plants just right outside your kitchen window for summer seasoning. Window boxes are really space savers allowing you to plant a mini garden when space is limited at home or in an apartment or rentals that are deprived with spaces for gardening.
Since we all know that seasons are changing every four months, most gardeners have a problem maintaining their plants outside where they are exposed to weather changes. To work things out for gardeners, they develop a unique way of pre-planting their plants. Window box liners allow them to pre-plant the plants and rotate them as the seasons change.
Most homeowners choose to replace their flower box liners annually. There are many window box liners that you can choose from. Replacement options includes plastic window box liners, coconut liners. These liners are made from durable cellular PVC, and metal liners (galvanized) for window box cages. Liners extend and enhance the life and upgrade the look of your boxes. You can either purchase these from your local stores or through online.
Moreover planter box liners are quick, reliable, and — when you consider the the cost, it is relatively cheap. Container plantings has the tendency to dry out quickly in the heat of the summer and sometimes need a drink almost daily. No one wants to drag a hose around especially during summer seasons, though, some manufacturers of these planter box liners offer a watering system to eliminate work load of gardeners.
Drip irrigation on a timer is a great option to simplify the work load of watering and get plants the water they need daily. Irrigation tubing system can be trailed behind planters, it can be installed underneath the decking and up through the bottom of your planter. Then, individual tubes with emitters are positioned at the base of the plants to bring water right where it is mostly needed.
While plants need water daily they should not be swimming in it in every day of their lives. It just need to make the potting soil mix moist all the time. Good drainage is a must to all of the containers used for gardening. Plastic planter liners are great solution in this case because these have adequate holes for drainage.
