Porch Garden planted today using Homemade upside down planters with homemade watering system




These worked out well last year, new experiments this year. The upside down portion of the planters include Fusia, Dill, Jalapeño and Tomato starts. On top of the planters are some Lettuce and Basil plants.  Used some milk cartons as well as the soda bottles lined with paper bags, filled with dirt and some fertilizer. 

My husband husband ingeniously collected an old but functioning fish tank pump, duct tape, 2 liter bottle, plastic tubing from an air bed inflator, short extension cord and a hockey stick from the garage into a watering system, so no step stools or ladder this year! 

Some of the starts were a little stressed after being threaded through the bottle openings, but they all look to have survived.  Wonder what these will look like in a month! 

For last year's pics and materials used see this blog link:
