Homemade areoponics planter


As dirty little tree huggers, we don't like to buy stuff that we believe we can build. Instead of purchasing those really expensive "Toppsy Turvy" planters, we got creative. Imagine that! We decided to purchase some cheap, small pots from the local Home Depot. With those and some wire coat hangers, we produced our own "Toppsy Turvys". Cool huh? The pots were about $2 a piece. We made 5 of them. That saved us about $65!
Directions:
1. Drill two 3/16" holes in the pot, one adjacent from the other.
2. Straighten a metal coat hanger.
3. Put both ends of the hanger through the holes and even them out.
4. Twist and bend a hook at the end.
Congrats! Now that's being resoureful!
