Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cut the garden hose to your desired length, typically around 2-3 feet for a tabletop planter.
2. If using, seal one end of the hose with a plastic end cap to prevent soil from falling out.
3. Drill small drainage holes in the hose if you want to ensure proper drainage for your plants.
4. Fill the hose with potting soil, leaving enough space at the top for your plants.
5. Plant your chosen flowers or herbs into the soil, arranging them as desired.
6. If you want to hang the planter, attach wire or twine to the ends of the hose.
7. Place the planter in a sunny spot and water your plants as needed.
