I've got 5 good ones and 8 not so good and 4 that I really need to take down as they contain nothing living. The good ones are all north and west facing and situated on the house immediately adjacent and very handy to where my hose pipe is. Funny that
Another vote for tomato food, the high potassium content produces more flowers than a general feed which contain more nitrogen for more leaves.
I use a cheap tomato food by Doff, £1.99 from Home Bargains, it lasts the season for my small garden and does the trick as well as the more expensive advertised brands. I use regularly - every 5 days or so and it works a treat.
I vote for miracle gro, when I have had yellowing hydrangeas, I have given them one watering cans worth and they recover their greeness so hopefully same for hanging baskets
various random plants (new and old) get this, in my front and back garden, and then nxt door said they had this is the hanging baskets in their back garden.......really strange

for every good hanging baskets ( window boxes, rockeries ) I see, I see hundreds of total horrors.
