Plant Tower

I am NOT paying my husband's hard earned cash for this when I can make it for MUCH cheaper!  

PreNote: only use soluble firtilizer in water, OR time release firtilizer premixed into the soil, (NOT BOTH!) according to the firtilizers instructions!

1) xs inner pipe w 1/8" holes, 3-4 holes per 1" row on bottom half, 1/2" apart on top half (so top half gets water too)...

pre2 Opt) if you want to paint it, only paint the big outter pipe, BEFORE you drill the holes! You dont want paint to get inside w the plants!

2) 5-6" exterior pipe w 1.5" holes 2.5" apart alternating up pipe {no holes on bottom 1 ft (minimum) - this will go in the ground so it doesnt fall over like these cheesy expensive planters will}...

3) wrap small pipe in weed cloth and secure w 2-3 rubberbands to prevent cloging...

4) temporarily cover end of sm pipe and place it inside the large pipe...

5) fill lg pipe up to 4th hole w WET soil, and plant 1st 4 plants....
6) fill lg pipe up to next 4 holes w WET soil, and plant next 4 plants...
7) repeat until full...

8) fill the small pipe with water (using a funnel helps), and enjoy!
