but check out these awesome upside down planters from Boskke.....



soooo cute and handy. there has got to be a way to DIY these pots out of used/vintage materials. oh great, that's just what i need.... another project idea!!!! but look how useful and space saving they could be in the sunny windowsill garden.

Hey - you got those images from our website!! (But we don't mind) :D The difficult thing with a DIY version of our Sky Planters will be the watering. We use the Slo-Flo irrigation system; a reservoir in the top of each planter which allows the water to slowly seep into the soil, avoiding dripping which is necessary to avoid for indoors. For outdoors though, I've seen people drill a hole in the bottom of a bucket and simply push the seedling in then hang up and water from the top. It floods water out, but this shouldn't be a problem if used outside! www.boskke.com

Dear Boskke,

Thank you for not hunting me down. :)
Also thanks for the tip in regards to the watering. I would have never thought of that, resulting in a lovely mess in the kitchen. I've seen the bucket idea used for growing tomatoes outside, but have never tried it. Our pots for indoor growing of herbs is seriously awesome.

I meant "YOUR" pots. See what happens when you go to a chocolate tasting, followed by super strong coffee, first thing in the morning.
