[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Using Loose Moss

  1. Have a design for your finished product in mind before you start.

  2. Get some wet sphagnum moss and wring it out so it is moist.

  3. Press the moss in between the wires of the basket. Begin at the bottom and work your way to the top. Make sure it is about two inches thick. If it is too thin, soil can leak out; if it is too thick, there won't be enough room for the plants. Then, put some extra moss on the rim of the basket so that it is completely covered.
