I finally got around to starting my upside down herb garden after killing it last month.

Since the first go around was such a success, I decided to take it slowly this time and just planted some parsley.

Here’s a step by step as to how I planted the parsley upside down in my herb garden. I stress “gently” because I was anything but in the first go round.

Gently separate out one of the parsley plants.
Gently place into the container.
Feed through and gently pull through the bottom.
Pat down the soil.
Fill container with soil.
Tie to spot.
Fill with water until it begins to leak.

Have yet to have success with the herbs, but I did too many ill advised things the first go around.

I am sure that you can do some plants upside down. I've heard of people doing tomatoes and cucumbers.
