Here are the no-cost hanging fern baskets
I made for my patio using stuff from my yard.
I have 6 hanging baskets on my patio that
needed new everything; new plants, and
new coco liners. That can get pricy-
$60 for the liners alone.

I thought I'd try to make my own with material
I had in my yard. It wouldn't cost me a thing!
I used the dried palm tree bark.
Not really the hard bark, but the soft
material we trim off the top.
to cover all around the inside.
I trimmed the edge with scissors.
The Boston fern has taken over our yard,
so we just dug up a bunch.

I filled plastic pots with potting soil
and the ferns and dropped them in
the palm bark lined baskets.

They should be low maintenance and
last a long time.
Not bad for a FREEbie!
It's been several months now and they are all thriving.
Cheers!
Your fern looks very nice and you can't beat no cost, good for you !
