I was 'brought' to this forum by a pic. in the gallery with the comment 'first time I bagged flowers'. It was posted by someone called Mel. It turned out to be a container which was made out of a plastic bag and it hung on a wall. I am fairly new to gardening, but I have a couple of those bags which I tried with unsuccessfully a couple of years ago and I would like to try them again. It seemed Mel had petunias growing in them, but I think my problem was the growing medium. The plants did not thrive and I had to abandon the idea. Can anyone tell me what sort of soil/mixture I need to use? Also, are there any preferred plants to use? Thank you.
