Well I guess I'll post this here because I plan to recycle whatever container I figure to use. I thought you all could brain storm with me and make this work. I was up last week at about 4 am watching one of those tv infomercial things. They were selling that infamous upside down tom plant bag. Has any one tried these?
I thought it would be great fun to see what I could plant that way. I started thinking of other containers I could "hang up". I though about buckets, already having a handle. Then I could just drill the holes in the sides and skewer them on a pole or something. Yesterday I saved a plastic bag form 20lb of rice. It's really sturdy and good sized.
I guess what I need to figure out is how I am going to hang them and on what. I want to put them out by my raised beds, which is also my yard. I was thinking of an A frame type structure, kinda like a swing set. Then hang 3 or 4 plants from the middle? But it might take up to much floor space. Any ideas?? How far do you think they should be off the ground? I think the pole on the tv add was 6 ft tall. Hmmmm, I guess I need to go look around and see what I have that's 6 ft tall.
Anyways let me know what you think, gina
