Steps to make a birdcage planter
Step One: If you are using an old bird cage, make sure to clean it thoroughly with a disinfectant. Remove any rust and paint it well with the color that best suits the color scheme of your garden.
Step Two: Reinforce the cage and tighten any screw or nut because it will become heavy once soil and plants are in it.
Step Three:
Now line the cage with coco liner or moss. It’s important to line the cage nicely to stop soil from spilling out of the cage.
Or you can place a container of similar size in a birdcage. Putting a container will make the work easy, and your cage won’t rust faster. If you’re placing a container in the cage.
Step Four: Mix slow-release fertilizer and water retaining granules in potting mix and fill it in the 1/4 of the birdcage.
Step Five: As our planter is shallow you’ll need to break the root ball of plants you’re planting, after this clear space in the soil and place your plants gently.
Step Six: Finding a right spot to hang your birdcage planter is important. Fix it where it will become a focal point of your garden, in a less windy spot. If it’s large or shaky, put it on a tabletop or chair.
