In this video you will learn how to make easy hanging planters from tin cans. You start off by filling them with water and freezing them to make it easier to nail the holes, simply tie on some string, add a plant and done. Larger tins could be used for Alpine Strawberries and vegetables but baked bean size do well for herbs.

Very nice, Huw!
now that' the way to reuse a can, in the end are all three tied together or just hanging closely together ? either way very nice.
Hanging closely together, thanks for watching!
cool idea, going to do this early
Great idea! A big thumbs up from me!
How long does it take before the cans start to rust away?
That is a great idea… saves wasting all those tin cans as well as providing other places to put your produce. I will try this one! Thanks again Huw…
great idea thanks
Great idea. Good way to reuse gallon paint cans too. Id paint them with a sealantto keep from rusting. 🙂 Ty sha'
Great idea!!!
Hello,
Great idea. Thank you for sharing. However, do you find that plants grow well in tin cans? I've recently grown a bunch of herbs from seed. Some seeds were planted in plastic (bottle bottoms) and others were potted in tin cans. The ones in plastic have germinated and are growing well. The seeds in the tin cans haven't germinated, leading me to think that it's because of the tin.
Nonetheless, love the idea of your tin can hanging baskets.
Keep the great videos coming.
Number 10 tins (coffee tins) would make for bigger plants. Great idea, thank you for sharing.
THIS IS GREAT!!!……… THANK YOU….
You can use woodprix instructions to build it yourself guys.
I am sure you'll learn how to make it if you'll read Woodprix HANDBOOKS from cover to cover 🙂
It's simple, Just go to Woodprix page – and enter the Wood World.
I did something very similar, my plans from Stodoys helped me with this.
Thanks for the great video. Why did you bake the cans in the oven?
Gonna make this for my husband for our 10 th Wedding Anniversary. He loves gardening, wanted a hanging planter and 10=tin or foil. Thank you! Love it!
It's a nice idea but there's an obvious flaw – water will drop out the bottom, which might be fine in a greenhouse but not over my kitchen windowsill – I was hoping to add hanging planters for extra growing space. I live in a flat, and can only grow indoors..
Suggestions?!
Very informative. I'm gonna make it soon
So cool thanks for sharing
I think those are steel cans, is anything made out of tin(Sn) any more?
Great idea going to try – and never thought about freezing cans – to make it easier to put nails – thank you
