The Ups-A-Daisy container gardening inserts are made from durable plastic that makes them strong and reusable year after year. No need to hunt down foam peanuts or plastic bottles to add to the bottom of your container every spring. As you can see from the cross-section photograph on the right the Ups-A-Daisy sit in the middle of the pot.After the cost of the pot, the second biggest cost associated with container gardening is the potting soil that you use. Unless you fill the bottom of the pot with foam peanuts or something else you have to fill the entire pot with potting soil. The Ups-A-Daisy planter inserts reduce the expense of gardening. Since they fit halfway down the pot you use less potting soil in your container gardens. Another benefit is that you can purchase the expensive potting soils mixes instead of skimping and buying the cheaper kinds since you'll need less potting soil than normal.
Unlike using foam peanuts or plastic bottles with the Ups-A-Daisy planter inserts your potting soil will not shift down and settle at the bottom of the pot. A perfectly fitted Ups-A-Daisy planter insert allows for water to drain properly and for air to circulate around the roots of your plants. Good drainage and air circulation are essential to the health of a potted garden and most importantly prevent root rot and yield better plants and blooms.The Ups-A-Daisy planter inserts not only make container gardening more affordable and cleaner they also make it accessible to older or disabled gardeners. Reducing the weight of the potted planter allows for easy setup and storing of your container garden. You'll also find it easier to lift and move the potted planter around your garden, deck or patio. Rearranging outdoor rooms for parties or large gatherings is a snap when you can easily move your container garden to maximize the available space.
Ups-A-Daisy planter inserts are available in a variety of sizes and work well not only with outdoor container gardens where you can grow annuals, perennials, organic herbs, and potted bulbs but it also works with potted houseplants.
