Wall mount Galvanized Chicken Feeder upcycle out door Begonia planter



I found a chicken feeder at a great yard sale and could not pass it up.

It was slightly aged and I though cool.  I held on to it till spring.

After drilling a few drainage holes in the bottom (it was solid) it was ready to go.  I hung it on a somewhat shady exterior wall on the storage shed and packed it with begonias and it is very happy!






To make watering easier we ran a drip line to it and I saturate it every other day to keep the soil moist and soft and the flowers happy.  Osmocote pelleted  fertilizer was also added to keep a steady feed through the spring and summer heat.  

Happy spring!
