Jackieblue on Jun 30, 2016Why is there always someone who has to be negative about every thing people try to do. If you feel that strongly about plastic just don't use it and keep your remarks to yourself. I think it is a wonderful idea. I have grown most of my plants in plastic this year it is very frugal and smart

You can skip this part, just go to next paragraph. I haven't read the comments but I imagine someone said that we'll poison ourselves with plastic. I always told my mom when she worried about dying, You have to die of something. Sounds heartless, but it is true. Plastic and toxins are in all air, soil and water, even in remote reaches of the earth. Get over it, live the life you have. The worry will rob you of life now, or maybe later. Enough said.
I really like the plastic planters. I would just try to use something sturdier than plastic hangers. The UV might weaken them in the sun and drop the planter when the plant is heavy. Maybe get short lengths of metal chain, the hardware store will cut it, and run from black plant holder through red ropes. If hanger fails, plants won't hit the ground. Also replace the red rope yearly. I am always chasing around my yard trying to find enough sun. So I have my plastic tub planters on wheeled carts, to adjust to just the right spot, as the trees around me grow a little every year. I use plastic buckets and hoses to water and fertilize. I use rainwater from my plastic rainbarrel. I cut the veggies on my plastic cutting board. LOL But the taste of the first fresh tomato of the year- Priceless!
