PROJECT : Hanging garden (upside-down)

USA version from Charles in Arkansas:

My good friend Charles in Arkansas sent me this picture the other day of his experimental up-side-down hanging garden. The idea crossed my mind last year
(a short journey I admit) but to see it in action has rekindled my interest . . . keep tuned.
Oh, they are Sweet Banana Peppers by the way.

These detailed views show how it was done.

Here we go then.

The neck was easy enough, just needed three hands to hold it in place.

Having an oblong bottle made thinks a little tricky at times . . .  . . . and my wire twisting abilities leaves a little to be desired!

A test hang, well it points down at least. The neck plug was an inspiration, foam pipe lagging proved ideal. It's up and holding. I had some concern the wire wouldn't take the weight but it wasn't that heavy . . . yet

That's one done, I'll give it a couple of weeks for the weather to warm up a bit more and look out for some more interesting containers perhaps.

Just as Charles predicted, it's starting to raise it's leaves to the light.
