- Hanging pocket shoe organizer /store.
- Pole and attachments ( curtain pole or pipe fittings, screws).
- Strong metal saucepan or utensil hanging hooks
- Compost of a good quality moisture holding type.
- Selection of plants or seeds... e.g. mixed leaf salad, herbs,sorrel, peas, mini tomatoes.
- Piece of wood 2"x2" as long as the width of the pocket store to keep the base of pockets away from the wall.
- Trough planter to catch drips.
STEP 1:
Attach a strong pole with metal fittings to any wall.
You could use a curtain pole. Make sure it is at the correct height
STEP TWO:
Use strong hooks or wire to attach the shoe store. They must be strong enough to support the weight of the compost, plants and water.
STEP THREE:
Pour water into the pockets to check the drainage, if they don't drain then make a few small holes in each of the pockets.
STEP FOUR:
Add a good moisture retaining compost, fill to 1" below the rim so that water does not pour out over the rim.
STEP FIVE:
Sow seeds or add seedlings. I suggest....
- herbs: thyme, sorrel, chives, cilantro
- salad mixed leaf, mustard, or spinach
- minibel tomatoes
- petit pois peas you can eat the young leaflets and tendrils
STEP SIX:
Use a piece of wood to make sure the excess water drips into the trough below.
