FAQs
Are the bulbs included with this set?

Can I leave these in the ground all year?
While the material is weatherproof, the baskets are intended to be lifted if you plan to rotate or move your bulb displays.
What is the best way to store these when not in use?
Clean off any dirt, ensure they are dry, and stack them inside each other to save space in your shed or garage.
Can I use these for vegetables?
These are designed specifically for bulbs; however, they can be used for small container-friendly plants, though they are not intended for large root vegetables.
Are the dimensions uniform for all 15 baskets?
Yes, they are designed to be uniform, though please note that product designs may vary slightly.
Troubleshooting
Basket is difficult to bury
Ensure the planting hole is dug slightly wider than the diameter of the basket to account for the rim.
Soil falling through basket holes
Use a layer of newspaper or a biodegradable fabric liner inside the base of the basket if the soil is loose.
Difficulty lifting the basket
Gently loosen the soil around the exterior perimeter with a hand trowel before pulling the basket upwards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: clear the area, dig a hole slightly wider than the basket, and insert the basket filled with soil and bulbs. Ensure the rim of the basket is level with the soil surface for the best aesthetic result. Compatibility-wise, these baskets are suitable for most standard spring and summer flowering bulbs. Regarding care, the plastic material is easy to clean; after removing the bulbs at the end of the season, simply hose off the baskets to remove excess soil and compost, then air dry and stack them for compact storage until the next planting cycle.
