    is another's treasure. Growing up in the depression, my dad was
    a hoarder. Apple did not fall far from the tree. I always have an eye out
    for ....anything that can be used.......and free. Ride my bike past a house remodel.
    New roof that had lots of irregular pieces. Chip board....it's not just for breakfast anymore.
    I make all kinds of stuff w/left over chip board.
    Needed some plant hangers for my bucket tomatoes. Marigolds and Thai basil
    to keep the bugs away. Needed custom build to fit my fence.

    Nice work
    :yes:

    Are you going to put any type of sealant on those?

    OSB doesn't handle water very well.

    Thompson's. I have CB that has been treated w/Thompson's that I use
    to divert water in my garden that is 3yrs old and going strong.


    I think those are 2qt pots.
    Mugo pines came in them.
    ….again, never throw anything away....
    you just never know.

    What a great idea. So which came first? the design for the fence or for the hangers to fit on the fence? Around here, pots hung like that might be out of reach of the slugs which usually decimate everything.

    Fence came first.
    It was dreamed up in my shop last winter.

    without being watered.

    It divides two sections of the garden.
    Open lets water flow to the lower part.
    Closed lets water flow to the upper part.
    It works very well.
