Directions for Basket:

2. Make sure to soak it with water and it’s saturated before you place it inside the basket.

3. Cut plastic lining and make sure it covers the entire inside of the basket.

When cutting wood stems make sure to tear off stem and bang the ripped off stem so it can
absorb water.
