hey everyone and welcome to Gardening
0:02
with Ben you may remember that ages ago
0:06
I were talking about planting up a
0:08
laundry basket full of flowers so that
0:10
we get one of these big balls ones that
0:12
you often see online to see if it
0:14
actually works or not well we did plant
0:17
one up about a month ago in my poly
0:19
tunnel with some bedding plants and I
0:21
finally just moved it outside and wow
0:23
was it heavy i'm absolutely shattered
0:25
now from moving it but it's looking good
0:29
so let's do the big reveal of what it's
0:32
looking like so far and see if we get
0:34
one of these big balls of color that you
0:36
see online that a lot of people share so
0:40
let's stop the talking and let's get the
0:42
showing so this is what it looks like so
0:45
far as you can see all the plants seem
0:47
to get have got established what I've
0:50
planted through the sides and in the
0:52
tops we've added some flowers and yeah
0:54
hopefully it's going to look good but
0:56
we've moved it outside now because the
0:58
chance of frost's gone and hopefully it
1:01
will survive and obviously now it's
1:03
raining it will keep it watered as well
1:06
so the reason why it was so heavy is
1:08
that it's not just full of compost i've
1:10
put bricks in the middle of it so that I
1:12
didn't have to use as much compost i
1:14
shouldn't have put so many bricks in it
1:16
because I couldn't move it very much but
1:18
yeah we've managed to get it outside
1:20
we've put a hessen sack around the edges
1:22
so that the compost doesn't fall out and
1:25
then we made the slits for the plants to
1:27
be planted in we planted patunias and we
1:30
planted trailing geraniums in it as well
1:33
so hopefully it does spread out it does
1:36
bloom and hopefully we get a good color
1:40
of flowers in it and obviously like I've
1:42
got mine in the corner so you don't have
1:43
to plant the flowers all the way around
1:45
it but yeah hopefully fingers crossed
1:49
it'll bloom pretty well but obviously
1:51
you've got to remember to keep dead
1:53
heading so that the patunias keep on
1:55
flowering and keep on growing so I can
1:57
spot one there what needs to head in
1:59
which I need to do so yeah make sure you
2:02
stay tuned to see how well it gets on
2:05
year so thanks for watching today's
2:08
video on our laundry ball and see if we
2:11
do get a good result from it give us a
2:14

2:15
throughout the summer on how well it's
2:17
getting on see if it's still alive and
2:19
see if it does ball out hopefully I
2:21
bought trailing tuners if not it won't
2:25

2:28
