You could certainly do that but I think these planters would make
for a more
interesting arrangement of the bulbs. From what I remember it's a
hollow
ring, so the bulbs would be more spread out and something to come on
later
could go directly into the earth in the middle. Then when you lift
the ring
out of the ground, you won't be left with nothing there at all, as
you would
be with a pot.

I must be missing a trick somewhere. What purpose does the ring
serve? I thought the idea was to allow you to remove the bulbs soil
and all to somewhere else to mature, so that the ground becomes
available for something else for the rest of the season.


The ground will be available straight away if you plant something in the
middle of the hollow ring. If you wish, you could then plant another
'something' to take over from the ring, too. What it gives you is the
choice, I suppose. But why don't you go to the Bressingham site and have a
look?

I think I am beginning to understand the shape of the object you are
trying to describe, but it does not correspond to the simple
sieve-like shape in the picture of the URL which Martin originally
posted.

I had a look at the Bressingham site some time ago and I could not
find anything to do with bulb planting pots. That is probably just my
general ineffectualness. I will have another look.

I have had another look and I still can't find anything to do with
bulb planters in that site.
Ihave also made enquiries at 2 large garden centres in the vicinity,
and neither of them have heard of them. I will ring Bressingham
tomorrow.

I had to register, which is painless and found this which shows an actual
picture, Franz. Whooohooo! Hope it helps.

It's a rotten web site

There's something odd about the girl too, but don't let that
distract
you :-)

I've ordered 6. (Planters, not girls) I'll let folks know whether
they are good or bad.

Hello Sacha,

You and Martin you have jointly steered me to what I anticipate to be
a successful ending to my quest.

Oh, good - I hope they turn out to be what you want. People could probably
construct something similar out of chicken wire, don't you think?

Yes, probably. But what do you do with all that chicken wire which is
left over after you have made all the baskets you want from only a
tenth of the roll of wire?

I *think* you can buy it by the metre, can't you? I used to use it a fair
bit for doing big flower arrangements. Failing that, Franz, you will
discover that what you most need in life is a sturdy fruit cage and adjust
your thinking accordingly. ;-)

I tried a couple of years ago and the firm would not let me have less
than a roll. But never mind, for better or worse, those much
discussed van Tubingen baskets are on the way........

You can't build a fruit cage on soil which is only 6" thick before you
hit bedrock. {:-((

If you think I am going to raise a bed by a foot or so, just to enable
me to build a fruit cage in order to use up some surplus chicken wire,
you should have another think. {:-))
