Hanging Strawberry Planter


PVC Hanging Strawberry Planter

I cut a three foot length of 4 inch PVC pipe, glued a end cap to the bottom. Next I drilled a hole in the center of the end cap large enough for my drip irrigation hose. Then I pushed the drip hose into the hole in the PVC end cap until it came out the top. I drilled 1/2 inch holes for the strawberry plants. I drilled a hole in the top of another 4 inch end cap and added the eye hook with a small chain to attach it to the planter. I added another chain to the end of the PVC pipe to hang the planter to the bracket. I started a few strawberry plants and waited for the runners to develop. I would push a runner into another hole where it would grow.
