I’ll admit that I’m no genius in the garden and I definitely don’t have a “green thumb.” I don’t let that stop me, though. And with this little trick, even I should be able to create something beautiful. The tip comes from blogger Dan330, who offers instructions on how you can turn a drainage tube and a plastic tarp into a lovely, blossoming tower.
What you need:
Soil
A knife
A large flower pot
A drainage tube
Duct tape
Wire fencing
A tarp
Cable ties
Stones
Flower seeds
1. Start by making a few small holes along the drainage tube. Then, cover one end of the tube with duct tape and put that end in the middle of the pot.

2. Place stones in the bottom of the pot to stabilize the tube. Then, wrap wire fencing around the pot.

3. Line the inside of the wire fence with a tarp and fill the space with soil and flower seeds. (Tip: Fasten the tarp with cable ties. They’ll hold everything in place!)

4. Next, pierce the tarpaulin with a knife. The holes you’re making are where the flowers will grow. No you’re ready to water your flower tower and wait for the results.

5. The time it takes before you flowers start appear depending on which kind of seeds you planted. But the result? Gorgeous!
