Remove the lace from the boot or loosen it enough to allow the tongue to be pulled forward.
-
Fill the bottom of the boot with a layer of pebbles or aqaurium gravel to provide drainage.
-
Pack in a 2-inch layer of potting soil or loam.

Fit in the root base of annual flowers (pansies, marigolds, or impatiens work well).
