More Junk Gardening - Satellite Dish Planters
by

(IC: blogger)
Everyone is interested in using junk to make into interesting focal points and plant with some great plants these days. I found several old satellite dishes that were obsolete when the company who serves this area with TV signals upgraded and launched a new satellite (it's job security to have everyone changing their equipment every so often!)
I decided to try and use them for a shallow Sempervivum planter. After two years of moving them around and putting them on the ground for the winter for fear of killing off the plants, I stopped doing that, and left them up off the ground. To my surprise, the plants didn't all keel over! What do you think? Are these cool or what?

Drought Smart Plants on Jul 27, 2013Voles generally don't climb up things to eat them, they dig around in the ground, but that would definitely help with the hot pepper sauce - either it will repel them, or they'll think it's a barbeque!
