In my very little garden I have a horrid grey water butt which I think is truely ugly Twisted Evil

A couple of days ago I decided I couldnt stand it any more and I got the wire clippers out.

The end result is about 15 hanging flower pots all around the butt at different heights which hopefully when they start to grow will cover it up complete Very Happy

When I get time I will take a picture and show you what it looks like.

Janice the way I started was with a fairly thick wire I made a ring that went around the top of the butt.

Then I cut different lengths of the same thickness wire and made a loop at one end which I sat the flower pot in and the other end I made a hook which I connected to the ring at the top (if you see what I mean).

I will try and photograph it tomorrow a post a picture.

I have filled them with rockery plants which I think should fill out nicely.

I'm not sure I can think of a response that isn't full of innuendo! Laughing

Looking forward to seeing a pic or two!
