Review on Add Charm To Your Outdoor Area With Gardman R945 Forge Hanging Basket And Coco Liner | 12" X 7" Dimensions by Kevin Overturf

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Big = Heavy, especially once watered!

Lovely and large hanging planter. I ordered it halfway through the summer so as to transfer and accommodate my root bound petunias that were drying up and not holding water in a smaller hanging basket, such as they always do.Sturdy, chain seems well attached, and the coconut husk liner comes up high enough. I used several sheets of the water guard Soaker pad in the bottom before adding my potting soil and plants.My only problem was now the hanging basket was so darn heavy it almost takes two people to lift. Therefore, it no longer could hang on my heavy duty wrought iron Shepherd's crook hook that I had my smaller basket hanging on in my garden. Lacking a solid grounded post or wall to hang it close to my house, now sadly it sits in my garden until I figure out someplace strong enough to hold it. My boyfriend estimated that once watered, it easily weighs 50 lbs or more!

Pros
  • It is so great you do not have to water every day
Cons
  • Can be difficult to remove the coco liner for replacement or cleaning
