Q&A – How do I get my flowerbox to grow anything?

Question:
How do I get my flowerbox to grow anything?

Answer:
There are several things you can do to get the flowerbox to grow. First, make sure it is watered. It is possible the soil does not have any nutritional value left. Replace at least the top 6 inches of soil with new soil. Also, you need to make sure you are planting the right kind of plants. If the box is in full shade all day you need to plant shade plants.
