    There is a trailing plant I see in basically every hanging basket around this time of year.
    What is it?

    My respect, I actually had some in, they just not doing as well as some others I've seen that are already fairly established looking.

    Or any grass/drainage/chemical/machines based questions I'll answer for the next 30 days, how's that?
    I was a greenkeeper for ages, now student and do some gardens around town too, trying to get a few more.

    Make sure you have trailing petunias - Surfinia are the normal 'brand' - and not bush ones. It's a common mistake people make.

    Yeah I did this last year in up stairs window baskets and learnt my lesson. Cheers, I'll make sure I don't do again.
    Some ivy I had in the pots suddenly died, not sure why, they were doing grand for about 18 months, I looked at them last weekend and they'd totally dried out and died. I do a little garden in down and had not been there in 2 weeks. The soil was wet and the other plants in the container were fine.
