A few years ago I bought a pair of hanging half-round wall planter baskets from Kmart. They were originally black wrought iron; a couple of years back I spray-painted them a matte antique gold, partly because the hardware on our house is gold/brass color, including the carriage lamps (from which the baskets hang) on either side of the garage door. I need to buy new coconut fiber liners for the baskets so I can replant them, but I'm not sure about what size to buy. Home Depot & Lowe's don't carry the half-round liners, nor does Kmart. (They carry the 'horse trough' size liners, but they're long & narrow & won't work.) I tried cutting some large round coco mats to fit last year, & that was a disaster. I can't find anywhere in STL that carries the half-round pre-molded liners, so I'm going to order some online. There are a couple of places on the internet I found through Google, but they have standard sizes -- usually 16" & 22". In fact, I found my exact baskets on eBay, but I don't need new baskets, just the liners! (see pic below ... sorry it's fuzzy, I copied from eBay) The dimensions are exactly what I measured -- planting area measures 8" tall, 19" wide, 8" deep. I'm afraid if I buy the 16" liners they won't be big enough by the time I put in potting soil & plants, so I'm leaning toward the 22" or 18" liners, depending on where I buy them. Suggestions? Thx in advance.

Nice. I hope it doesn't get any direct sun though, as that will fry the plants. Here is a link that might be useful: Trini Garden This post was edited by triniguy on Wed, Jul 3, 13 at 20:36

Thanks all. I don't have most of those stores in my city, but will keep looking when I get into neighboring cities that have a larger selection of stores. I know that I googled it, as I'd be open to ordering them online, but wasn't able to find what I was looking for. I don't think I tried african baskets, although did google fair trade and baskets and still wasn't able to find something. I guess I just need to be patient and keep looking. Thanks again.

I think the basket is too wide and bulky for that space. I also think you should do what makes you happy. If you love the basket, put it up! If you feel the need to put something in that space, it should be rectangular, hung the long way to fit the space. Maybe you have another place for the basket. You did not ask for comments about your pictures, but I will say they are not too high. However—The bottom of the bigger picture should be level with the bottom of the smaller picture. One is a little higher. If the big picture is hung with a wire, you may be able to loosen the wire a little bit and lower it down.
