Water runs right through the hanging planters...Ours ,anyway. I read that you can bury a plastic bottle in the dirt..lid off , and pour water into that. I myself would poke holes in the bottle at different heights...Hubby said plants do so much better in the ground he doesn't plan to use our two..Both bought at yard sales..a buck each, as I recall..New....Ours was hung from a tall, heavy duty steel plant hanger, stuck in the ground...Think we had to brace it...Might try to grow something else...Understand peppers work, but am leaning towards a cucumber...Bush, pickling type. Hubby planted them about 3 times around their wire cages and now ALL of the seed sprouted!
