The Hanging Chicken
This is one unique little idea that is attractive, useful, and quite a conversation piece. The idea is container in hanging chicken that made from egg holder made of wire, in the shape of chicken. The cover was taken off the holder and also the handles. There were replaced with non-rusting chain.
It looks best planted with one herb, possibly the one most used in the kitchen. I prefer the small leaved ones that droop, such as marjoram. To plant the chicken, stuff the head and tail first with sphagnum or wood moss. Now line the bottom and sides with the moss, being careful to overlap the moss so that the soil will not leak though.
Keep stuffing the moss until a little nest for a plant is all that is left. Plant the herb and add soil to about one inch from the top of the chicken framework. Make sure the soil is firmly pressed around the root of the plant. To water this little lady, simply dip her into a pan of water and allow her to drip before putting her back into flight.
