“As a professional gardener, I was contracted to plant and maintain the hanging baskets for a pub.

The pub owners wanted something vibrant and low-maintenance, so I decided to use Mad Company’s moisture-retaining blend in the soil mix for the baskets.
The results were outstanding! Not only did the baskets stay hydrated for longer periods, but the plants also thrived without the need for constant attention. The flowers were lush, vibrant, and consistently in bloom throughout the season, despite some unusually hot and dry weather.

The pub’s management was thrilled with how beautiful and full the baskets looked, and I saved a significant amount of time on watering and maintenance. The added bonus was the improved soil structure, which helped the roots establish more quickly and ensured the plants had steady access to nutrients.
I’ve used many different products over the years, but this one really stood out for its effectiveness and ease of use. I’ll definitely be recommending Mad Moisture to other clients, especially for projects where sustainability and low maintenance are key!”
