How to Cover Empty Space In Your Garden

It seems that no matter how carefully you plan your garden, there is always an empty spot. Something didn't bloom when you thought it would or the squirrels dug up a row of bulbs and you didn't know it. Whatever the reason, its looks empty. There is no reason to worry. You can fill those holes quickly and have a lush, beautiful garden in no time. Read on to learn more.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Hanging baskets of perennials or annuals

1. Purchase hanging plastic baskets of annuals or perennials. They should be bright, non-cascading and in full bloom. Buy one or two baskets per 10 square feet of space.

2. Daisies, scaevolas, and geraniums will last all summer and are widely available.

3. Remove the hangers from the baskets and nestle the flowers (still in the bastket) among the surrounding foliage in your garden. The baskets should be shallow enough to hide in the mulch and foliage.

4. The baskets can be moved around all summer to fill other barren patches as needed.
