DIY Hanging Planter
plant in a pant, an attempt at upside down growing.
supplies: {1}some sort of container you can cut or drill a hole into. larger the container, the more room for your plant to grow. you can use milk jugs, plastic bottles, etc... i reused pots that came with the hydrangea's we planted this spring. {2} rope of any kind...i used piping cord. {3} coffee filter. {4}plant(s). i grew Tomatoes on bottom and Morning Glory above. {5} PANTS!
first, fit pot in plant leg. mark where top and bottom hit. add about an inch to the top, for a .5 inch double hem.
then, add half the diameter of bottom side of pot, plus 1 inch for hem, and minus about .75 inches (for opening that plant grows comfortably through).
DRAWSTRING: cut a hole in your double hem and pull your rope through it. use a safety pin attached to one end of rope to help guide it through the hem pocket.
attach sturdy handles.
cut hole at center, about 3 inches in diameter.
tighten drawstring at bottom
cut coffee filter halfway, to its middle. the filter will hold dirt in place but will allow the stem to grow wider.
wrap filter around base of plant.
carefully run the greens through bottom opening. fill rest of pot with soil and hang!
