There are various ways of making them. Some might required advance building skills and can be expensive, but what you\u2019ll learn to make here isn&#8217;t. In fact, it&#8217;s dirt cheap \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who would have thought of turning a hanging pocket shoe organizer into a vertical planter! It\u2019s very easy to make and won\u2019t cost you a lot of money. <a href=\"https:\/\/theownerbuildernetwork.co\/gardens\/2019\/04\/05\/how-to-make-a-hanging-garden-using-shoe-organizers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn how to make this vertical planter<\/a> with our step-by-step guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Materials:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hanging pocket shoe organiser<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Curtain rod or pipe fittings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Screws<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hooks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compost<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2&#8243;x2&#8243; Board<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Attach Fittings And Rod<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Determine the location where you will be hanging the planter. It should be of the correct height so that you can plant in every pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using a level and a marker, determine the spot where the fittings for the curtain rod or pipe will be attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you have attached the fittings install the pipe or curtain rod. Ensure that the rod is strong enough to be able to hold the weight of the planter, soil, plants, and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/project.theownerbuildernetwork.co\/files\/2014\/07\/21-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"2\" class=\"wp-image-1379\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Install Hooks and Hang Planter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hooks you use should also be strong to support the weight of the planter when watered. Once you have the hooks continue by hanging the planter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/project.theownerbuildernetwork.co\/files\/2014\/07\/3.jpg\" alt=\"3\" class=\"wp-image-1381\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Establish Drainage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The planter should have a way of draining excess water. Depending on the material of your hanging pocket shoe organizer, water should be able to pass through it. If it\u2019s a material that doesn\u2019t allow drainage, create a few holes in the bottom of each pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/project.theownerbuildernetwork.co\/files\/2014\/07\/4.jpg\" alt=\"4\" class=\"wp-image-1383\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fill Planter With Compost And Add Plant Or Seeds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add a good amount of moisture retaining compost one inch below the rim to keep water from pouring over the rim when watering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/project.theownerbuildernetwork.co\/files\/2014\/07\/5.jpg\" alt=\"5\" class=\"wp-image-1385\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you have filled the planter with compost add the plants or seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/project.theownerbuildernetwork.co\/files\/2014\/07\/6.jpg\" alt=\"6\" class=\"wp-image-1386\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attach a 2&#8243;x2&#8243;piece of wood that is as long as the width of the shoe organizer. This will keep the base of the planter away from the wall allowing water to drip to the plants below it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/project.theownerbuildernetwork.co\/files\/2014\/07\/7.jpg\" alt=\"7\" class=\"wp-image-1387\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thanks to <a title=\"Pippa5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instructables.com\/member\/pippa5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"219\">Pippa5<\/a> for the original idea!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600;color: #444444\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planting directly in the ground or in a raised garden bed is really the&nbsp;ideal way of growing produce.
