I remember a thread quite some time ago about hanging baskets where I mentioned that I use hanging baskets which have a water reservoir in the base, I said that I would like to replace my, now very old baskets with new ones but was having trouble finding a supplier. Some one posted a link to a French site which sold them.

I've searched GWD but nothing relevant can be found

Can anyone help me find a supplier please? The plus side of using a hanging basket with a reservoir means they don't need daily attention.

I bought this variety about 5yr ago and I still use them, all I do each year is replace the fibre wick which runs down into the base.
not a bad price for the pair.

old age is not so bad if you consider the alternative

I managed to pick up some baskets this year from my local Wyevale that have a reservoir in the bottom of them. I'll be using these for my hanging basket tomatoes this year tomatos this year. Cost me £5 each. There's a link here;

And found this link where they can be bought online;
