Title: Dusty Bin Planter
Post by: Roy Bham UK on September 21, 2004, 07:46:18
Thought I'd share with you a way to spruce up your dust bin if like me you are cramped for space. Just a lick of paint and a tie on plant pouch off QVC makes it look and even smell nice. ;D

Thanks guys, glad you like it. The planters are quite versatile you can hang them vertically on a wall/fence or to hide a drain pipe or turn them over and use them tied horizontally round a tree trunk dustbin or barrel and you can use them in porches or conservatory as long as you don't over water them. :D

Here is the link… and click on the picture although not a very close picture.
