Three Tier Garden Container

RE: Three Tier Garden Container Post by 1bigmama (16) | (06/15/2008) Profile | Contact This is absolutely beautiful. However, I do have questions, are these annuals only?, can you do this with perninnals? what kind of potting soil did you use? can you do this with fragrant blooms? If I wanted to use this technique for my side and front porches, would I have to plant all the way around the pots? Again this is a wonderful idea, I would like to try this, especially being that I prefer container planting over ground planting. I don't like the whole weeding process, and I find that it is easier to water them in pots than in the ground garden.

I just found a helpful article on creating a compost pile -- great way to recycle, reuse and enhance your garden. http://www.oldhouseweb.com/stories/Detailed/15053.shtml Report Spam or Abuse RE: Three Tier Garden Container Post By Elaine (Guest Post) (06/14/2008) Is it put together with threaded rod? I have seen ones that way but the pots do not line up as yours does. Could you explain how you got them to line up?

You can then put a metal rod or a dowel down through the top two pots into the bottom pot. In the bottom pot, turn a small clay pot upside down and insert the dowel or rod into it. You can put a rubber grommett at each pot to keep it from sliding in and out. But, I didn't find this necessary. However, my cat did manage to turn the entire thing over!

Stick it in the ground and continue to add pots and tip them. To see this lovely effect just google tipsy pots. Really cute and different. I planted some myself this year.

If you live where it freezes in winter, I wonder if the hostas will survive though. Report Spam or Abuse
