Instructions:
Herb tin can planters
- Pound drain holes into the bottom of each tin can for adequate drainage.
- Punch a hanging hole near the top/back of each can.
- Place small rocks inside the cans along the bottom, covering the drain holes.
- Add a quality container soil with added nutrients into the bottoms of the cans.
- Water herb plants well, then gently spread out the roots.
- Position the herb plants in the cans, then surround and cover with soil.
- Water the herb plant well.
- Hold the can at the position desired, then insert a screw into the hanging hole, and tighten with a cordless drill.
- Plant the herbs in a partially shady spot so they don't dry out too quickly, and keep well watered. Pinch as needed.
Herbs sign
- Position the Herbs stencil on top of a piece of reclaimed wood that fits.
- Tap dome-tip stencil brush into black paint, then remove most until brush 'feels' dry.
- Tap paint through the stencil until desired coverage is met.
- Tie some thin twine around both sides of the board for an added rustic touch.
- Screw the sign to your desired location.
