Hanging Herbs
YOU WILL NEED:
water bottles
white paint
hole punch
small herb plants
soil
10-inch small wood dowel
copper wire
1. Cut the ends off the water bottles.
2. Paint the bottles white.
3. Punch two
holes on opposite sides of the large open
end.
4. Insert the plant into the bottle
upside down and gently pull the plant
through the mouth of the bottle.
5. Fill
the bottle with planting soil to mix within
a couple of inches from the top.
6. Insert
a piece of dowel through both holes.
7. Tie a piece of twine or copper wire
around each side of the dowel and
hang the planter from a rod or piece of
copper tubing.
Herbs in a Mason Jar
YOU WILL NEED:
piece of wood
mason jars
roll of copper flashing with holes
screws
small river stones
soil
herbs
1. Take a roll of copper flashing with holes
that you can get at any hardware store
and measure out a piece for each jar. The
piece will go all around the jar and have
room enough at the ends to allow you to
screw it into place. Shape the flashing
around the jars so it fits snug.
2. Put two
screws in each side of the flashing for
each jar, making sure it’s holding the jar
tightly against the wood. I put the jars at
an angle on the wood because I thought
it looked nice.
3. Fill the bottom of each
jar with a couple of inches of river stones
or gravel.
4. Fill the remaining space with
potting soil and the herbs of your choice.
