upcycled shoe planter

Here is the weekend project of re-purposing a shoe hanger into a children's herb garden. My project was a little different than the one I posted about last Friday. Instead of hanging, my planter is grounded and has plastic walls. I wish I had cloth but a few holes cut in the bottom will do the same job. FYI, it's not the prettiest thing but the more green that grows the less ugly it will appear. We opted for starts, since our seedlings, that where started in February, are not yet ready for our outdoor climate. The herbs the boys picked out are BBQ Rosemary, English Thyme, Curly Parsley, oregano and romaine lettuce for good measure. The boys used their noses to pick out the herbs, and the more fragrant the better. I picked out the romaine so we would not go broke buying a million herbs to fill 10 planting spaces.
Here are the steps I followed to create this project.

1. Cut about 5 holes to each planting chamber or shoe shelf.
2. Gather or purchase a compost dirt mixture.
3. Have kids fill each chamber with planting mixture until a three inch gap is present from dirt to top.
4. Plant seeds or starts(we opted for starts on this project).
5. Water generously after planting and watch them grow.
