I need to replace the coconut liner in my 5 flower boxes this year and
am dismayed to find that the 44" coconut liners go for at least $20
bucks a piece at my local nurseries. I'm cheap, what can I say. I
have been unsuccessful in finding an on-line source at a reasonable
price, and I am open to other options that perhaps mimic the look of
coconut liner. Or hey, just find me some cheap liners! Does anyone
have any suggestions? I would rather not use plastic.....

I've lined wire baskets with weed/landscape cloth. I think it's pretty
useless as a weed barrier but it worked well to hold the dirt in baskets.

A few years back, I did a test of sphagnum vs. coconut liner vs. cotton
twill for lining wire baskets. The twill lasted at least a couple of years,
and since it was salvaged from work pants, the cost was $0.
