The Floating Garden's of Elkton


     So this is just a side project we started working on. We took some of our leftover chicken wire from the compost bin project and put it to use. The idea started as somewhere to plant our herbs where the Dog and Cat could not bother them, but it is quickly turning into our own little hanging flower garden. This is very easy to make, all you need is...
  • Chicken wire, or any fencing you have lying around
  • Recycled plastic bottles(size does not matter)
  • Scissors
  • wire cutters
Start by putting a drainage slit in the cap of the bottle, then just cut the bottom off, and put two small holes on either side of the middle of the bottle. Now just cut the cross wire on every other square of the fencing and put the prongs through the sides of your bottle to support and hang it, and Wala! you have a hanging garden. Just plant some seeds and watch them grow. We will update more pictures once the sprouts actually start popping up.
