Bean can gardening! ?

[vette-kid]

Saw this today on my way to get my morning caffeine fix...probably explains the shaky pic . Looks like large cans (beans were the first to come to mind), painted and then hung from a Sheppard's hook somehow. I couldn't see how they hung then, but it would be easy. They had flowers growing in them. I couldn't get better detail without trespassing. I didn't dare jeopardize spilling my coffee in an attempt to escape a shotgun wielding hippy at 7am, so I didn't go into the yard!

Sorry for the pic.

@vette-kid, for me, the photo quality is not good enough to figure just what is going off there, but it does look intriguing.

You could use nylon fishing string, would look like they were floating then

Saw one of these a few years back, intrigued the Ziglets at the time

I don't think they would be suitable in hot weather, tin can get very hot and burn roots.

I don't get it, what is going on here, what is the purpose? do you grow things in hanging cans?. When i searched "Bean Can Gardening" the only hit i got was @vette-kid s post that was more about caffeine. Is this something one would do to increase their growing space?

Ya, sorry. I didn't get a chance to go back once I leveled out! was out of town at the time too, so no chance now.

You hang the beans in the sun, then open them ready cooked

I'm really not sure. I just thought it was interesting and looked kind of neat. Doesn't really go for my yard, but thought maybe some here might like it.

Hadn't thought of that. I see people using feed bins as planters, though they are bigger so not such a problem?

Ooh, I like it. Maybe onions ready cooked fresh!
