Good call, but I attempted to grow upside down and didn’t work out too well for me. So I just started to grow this way.

These are a great idea for creating with children …. but if you are looking to maximise planting space, how about planting a herb in the top of the bottle, as well as one hanging out the bottom. Companion planting would work a treat. For example, Tomato hanging out the bottom and basil growing out the top ?? Marigolds would also be very good for the top as they are excellent for soil conditon and would add colour to an otherwise (hopefully) very green garden!

This is cool! My balcony is quite big but this is way too cool I’m going to give it a try. Perfect for growing herbs. I may use Hannah’s suggestion though coz I think it’s a great idea for good drainage.

[...] in Herbs, Manhattan ShareIt’s been a bit over a week since I planted my upside down herb garden on my fire escape again. I planted them in soda bottles that were recycled into the upside down planters. [...]

Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately these were a failure. I'd recommend making these hanging herb planters instead http://www.urbanorganicgardener.com/how-to-make...
