I like the idea. I'll do some research on that one. Thanks for the suggestion! wow, I hadn’t thought of hanging baskets, or any type of container planting for that matter. I like the idea.

My husband and I are looking for good choices but not finding much. How about a post on what native plants are good for hanging baskets?

I'm in favor of using bio-degradable stuff instead of the black plastic or cloth, like you've mentioned. There is also a camp of organic gardeners who say that good compost makes a better mulch than the traditional wood/bark based mulches. I usually don't have enough compost to use it for that purpose, so I don't have any experience with using it in that way. Anyone else done it? That’s a pretty good tip.
