I have several of these plastic chicken feeders which I bought to use as planters. Other than the obvious way of filling with dirt and planting a seed/plant in each hole, any ideas on how to use "differently"? Thanks for your help :)
Use it as a desk caddy. Paint or your favorite color. Add a jar or plain round vase in the center. The smaller openings can house smaller glass containers (all from dollar store). Center can be used to hold scissors, pens, pencils and smaller ones can hold paper clips, etc.
You can use these as gift ideas. Fill with a bag of M&M's etc. That way your person recieving the gift can fill them selves. I would use a mason quart jar to screw to the base. Paint the glass jar. Tie at the base with a beautiful ribbon. Have fun with it. Ta-da
I use these for bird feeders. A Mason jar fits perfectly. Have also used them to plant small succulents. Good luck!
Those are definitely bird feeders at my house. A Mason jar works perfectly!
Use it to display plant pots. easier to ring the changes if not performing well!
Hi Sherrill, you could stack them and plant in them, for trialing plants like strawberries
