Great idea in Plant Pole -- 8 Hanging Plants in Less Than 2 sq. ft. of Greenhouse Space

By Ecscuba

Make this plant pole for under $20 in about an hour. It uses less than 2 feet of floor space in your greenhouse. It holds small to medium-sized pots (herbs, seedlings, etc.). Great for on the patio too. As an added bonus, a light can be hung at the top, which will be handy when you absolutely must go to the greenhouse after dark :) Feeling really creative? Paint and decorate the pole.

I think I will try this idea for outdoors and sink the bucket into a larger tub. That way I can fill the tub with soil and plant it with low growing plants and then put small buckets on this plant pole and fill with hanging succulents. I will paint the pole a flat brown to emulate rusty metal and put small galvanized buckets on it. By sinking it into a large galvanized tub I think it will be very eye catching. Thank you for sharing this fine idea, Carol. Smiles

Oh, Bonnie, I LIKE your idea and may just steal it!

Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.

AND you could put one of those solar lights, the kind that go on a stake, in the top. Hmmm, gotta go check my supply of PVC.

Lots of great ideas for modifications ! Love them all. Don't forget to put something over the bent up ends to prevent sticking yourself in the eye -- you could even make the metal hanger a bit wider and then bend the end under (just for safety).
