I had just finished watering, as you can tell. Alot of people are using them for herb gardens, next year I will do trailing flowers, I think.

I've got quite the collection of clay pots and would love to make one. I think trailing plants would be a great idea.

Get a 5 foot piece of rebar, pound a foot into the ground. take the largest pot, mine is 12 inch, fill half with peanuts or whatever, then dirt, stick it down the rebar to the bottom. Take the next largest, I used 10 inch, put soil in it, and when you put it down the rebar, just tip it to one side.It will sit mostly inside the big one, but that's ok. Do that with the rest, alternating which way they lean. That's it-took me all of 20 minutes. Post a pic when you're done, I'd love to see it :) Csrliz344 - Ohio, Zone "5"   Csrliz344  My Weather My Time Posted on Monday, July 03, 2006 - 02:57 pm EST :    Oh, I forgot to mention, when you water them, do it verrrrry slowly, so the soil doesn't wash out.

Here are a couple of tipsys I put together. Now I'm on the lookout for some old metal kettles, buckets etc to make another on. Craftygardener - Ontario, Zone "5b Canadian"   Csrliz344  My Weather My Time Posted on Saturday, July 08, 2006 - 04:09 pm EST :    Those are neat-what do you have in the top of the bottom pic?

Suzyqt1968 - Washington, Zone "7-8"   Craftygardener  My Weather My Garden Posted on Saturday, July 15, 2006 - 06:47 am EST :    I have a trailing plant in there that I call string of buttons .. don't know the actual name for it. It has small yellow flowers on it. Craftygardener - Ontario, Zone "5b Canadian"   Jmarie  Posted on Saturday, July 15, 2006 - 05:19 pm EST :    What a wonderful idea. I'm going to try this even though it's kinda late in the season. Can't wait! Jmarie - Ontario, Zone "5"   Karalyn  My Weather Posted on Friday, July 28, 2006 - 05:50 pm EST :    Cool! Karalyn Idaho Zone 6   Neshane  My Weather Posted on Sunday, May 20, 2007 - 03:54 pm EST :    Rain, how did you make the hanging pots? I see the rebar but what did you use under the first pot to keep it from coming off? Real nice, Thanks Neshane - Indiana, Zone "5b"   Csrliz344  My Weather My Time Posted on Sunday, May 20, 2007 - 04:20 pm EST :    Wow, I had forgotten about this thread. I have yet to get mine back out yet, it's supposed to be spring, but when I see frost in the a.m., I have to wonder..... Csrliz344 - Ohio, Zone "5"
