What can I use if I don't have a flower pot?
I want to grow plants but I don't have any flower pots. Is there anything else that would work, like an old bowl or Tupperware?
Don't say buy any, because I obviously can't right now.
Get creative - don't always choose a flower pot to plant in
If it holds dirt, you can plant in it.!!!
Have you ever thought what you could do with that old rubber boot that has a hole in it?
or how about those cute boots that your children have outgrown?
How about filling them with dirt and adding a plant or two - it sure will bring a smile to the guests to your garden.!!
Interesting pieces of pottery, bowls, tea cups,tea pots, mugs,
bowls etc. found at garage sales look beautiful with small plants in them.
Old plates placed under pots act as a catch-all for the water.
Fill an old wheelbarrow with dirt and plant in it.
If it is rusted out like mine was you won't need to add drainage holes.
I have chives, hens and chicks, and some other ground cover plants that like to trail over the edges.
Any old piece of garden equipment is great for planting in.
I have used an old seed spreader, old metal buckets, an old watering can, and old wheelbarrows.
Remember to add drainage holes.
Use old tires filled with dirt to put tomato plants in.
During the day the tires soak up the heat and over night that helps to keep the plants warm.
Make a walkway or patio area with stepping stones.
Plant thyme in some of the gaps between the stones - it gives off a lovely scent when you walk over them.
Moss gives a garden a feeling of antiquity.
Unfortunately moss is slow growing, but you can help the process along with a "moss concoction".
Crumble a clump of moss into a blender and add equal parts buttermilk and water.
Mix until well blended,and pour over the areas where you would like moss to grow.
Keep moist and soon you will have new moss growing around your walkway.
I heard this idea on a gardening show on HGTV and it was also shared on a gardening mailing list
Mount a mailbox on a wood post in your garden.
Use it as a spot for storing gardening supplies .... gloves, tools, string, scissors, etc.
The birds might also decide to use it as a bird house.
We have one mounted on a post and I use it as a feeder for the bluejays.
They love to swoop in and pick up their "peanut mail".
How about putting it on a high post and adding the words "Air Mail" on the outside of the box.
It will make a great birdhouse.

How to measure a flower pot?
When a flower pot is marked 5 inches is that 5 inches measured across the top or the bottom of the pot?
Across the pot is the diameter.
But also important is the height of the pot.
Depends on the plant, is the height you should use.
Trees need a taller pot than a regular ornamental plant.
