Rescuing my window boxWella fter spent all that time planting my window box it's got flooded  I've got rid of the excess water. My poor plants were floating. Will I have to replant it now or should be okay?

It should be OK. Have you got drainage holes in the bottom of the box to let excess water out??? Try mixing a little sand into the soil to aid drainage. |

Yep I put holes in the bottom of it. Not tried the sand so will try that on the weekend when it dries out a bit |

Next time you fill it, perhaps put a thin layer of gravel in the bottom by the drainage? Helps to keep the holes unstoppered and seems to keep the roots away from them as well. |
