Instructions

 

It's as easy as...

  1. Fill the GardenSock with Potting Soil & Plant Starts...
  2. Water & Fertilize Regularly...
  3. Hang Them Anywhere & Enjoy the Flowers!!!

  • Use your favorite high quality potting soil mix. Pre-moisten soil before planting. Mix a small amount of slow release fertilizer with soil to aid in plant growth.
  • Fill Garden Sock with moist soil up to first opening. Pack soil lightly to eliminate air pockets.
  • Use plant cuttings or small bedding plants from 1 to 2 1/2 inches in size. Insert plant into opening roots first. Allow foliage to stick out.
  • Fill with moist soil up to next opening. Pack lightly. Insert plant start or cutting into opening.
  • Repeat until all openings of the Garden Sock are planted, including the circular opening at the top of the sock.
  • Water the Sock slowly from the top. When watering, hold Sock bottom out slightly at an angle, so that water will run down the back of the Sock. The Garden Sock also works very well with drip irrigation systems!
  • Water the Sock thoroughly until water drips out of stitching at bottom of Sock. Do not worry about over watering the Garden Sock due to the effective built-in drainage.
  • Hang Your Garden Sock in the appropriate spot and Enjoy!
  • For best results, water on a regular basis and fertilize with a water-dissolving 20-20-20 plant food every 7-10 days.
  • If the soil becomes hard-packed, simply squeeze or massage back of the Garden Sock to loosen and allow water to penetrate.
