Just one note on the tipsy tower. I used a LARGE pot for the bottom 14" and secured the rod (I used galvenized pipe, but i have seen copper pipe,but it tends to bend)with a little concrete to the larger pot, make sure you leave enough drainage in the bottom pot. I also used a 1x4 inch piece of board the fit across the large pot to help secure the pole as it rose up from the pot. I used 8" pots to finish the tower. Word of caution. Make sure you keep it out of a windy area, it can become top heavy and crash! Hanging plant work the best!

This is so pretty. I'm going to have Bill look into it for our house. I love this idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea! I've never seen them like this before and it would be super-simple to do. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Quill Cottage. I love this idea! I love the tipsy casual look. I checked out the link and think this would be a perfect little compact herb garden idea! Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI have made this this!! I didn't have directions, so I improvised and came up with my own version. Check out my pics on my blog.BadAttitudeFarm.
