How can I plant flowers in a wire hanging basket?

'Lining' a wire basket

Long fiber sphagnum moss is ideal for lining hanging or stand-alone wire baskets. Moisten the moss (in a bucket of water), squeeze out excess water, then layer around the inside of basket, pressing slightly to strengthen the layer. Leave a well in the middle to add potting soil and plants.
