Here is an idea that will add something special to your garden. You can hang it from your porch or under a tree. As the plants grow, they will fill up the bottom of the cage and trail down the sides. |
Supplies: Bird cage, Spanish moss, potting soil,
crushed granite (optional), succulents,
wire for securing the cage for hanging.
You will need a bird cage. (I found this decorative one at a hobby store for about $25, or sometimes you can find a cool used metal bird cage) |
Line the bottom of the cage with Spanish moss, building up along the sides to better hold in the potting soil. |
Add your potting soil... mound it so the center is higher than the edges. It will settle with time. |
