Old Chicken Feeder becomes a New Planter

I found an old chicken feeder at an antique shop and brought it home to use as a planter. A standard plastic handing basket fit right inside the top. Planted with an ivy geranium, bacopa and licorice plant, its the perfect centerpiece to my patio table. For all the details visit: http://www.inspiredbycharm.com/2012/05/chick...

    Michael, what a beautifiul centerpiece!! The red is gorgeous in your chicken feeder!! You need my hen & rooster figurines - their size would be perfect w/this - but I'm sorry to tell ya "THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN"!!!

    I've been searching for one of those - yes, I actually search for chicken feeders (strange but true). I've yet to find one but you've made me want to search even harder now!

    @Denise B - click on Michael W's profile pic and I think you'll be able to find the original post where he gave the info on the plant wall hanging!! ;~)

    Actually, go up to the search area at the very top of the page and put in DIY Vertical Succulent Planter - that should take you right to it.

    Such a novel idea, especially since we have unused chicken feeders in the barn. (Chickens disappeared after a Raid by some other varmints.)
