Once you have decided what plants that you would like to place in your garden planters and containers, then you will need to get the container soil ready for each pot. When working with potting mix, always make sure that the mix is moistened before getting started.
More than 1,620 pupils from 42 schools in Tyneside and Northumberland - together with 320 of their teachers and parents - gathered on the Glendale Showground for the rural teach-in.The youngsters at St Lawrence's RC Primary in Byker, Newcastle, were given a donation of pounds 1,000 from Procter & Gamble (P&G ) following a fundraiser.The youngsters were the latest to take part in the Glendale Agricultural Society's annual Children's Countryside Day, which was launched seven years ago.When your potting soil is ready, fill the containers to one to two inches from the top. Fill your containers with those beautiful plants and then gently firm down the soil. Water thoroughly and you�re all set.Now you have beautiful planters, containers and window boxes. Enjoy"Employees at P&G's three North East sites - Seaton Delaval, Cobalt Park and Longbenton - and we regularly fundraise and work closely with a range of local organisations including charities, education business partnerships and schools."The second method, and this takes a little longer, is to fill your large planters, pots and containers with the dry potting soil. Then run water into the mix, making sure that the soil does not run over the top, and let it stand. In a few hours, the potting mix will be well dampened and you can moisten again when you are ready to plant. This method works well when you want to place the containers on your deck, patio or in the garden before you get down to planting.The aim of the event was to teach the children more about life in the countryside, and how their food is grown and produced.
Now you have beautiful planters, containers and window boxes. Enjoy
