I've been into gardening since my grandparents introduced it to me and I've been posting a lot of my garden things here on hive. I do it not just to have a quality content but also to inspire you to engage in this kind of thing also. I'm very happy whenever I see a fellow hiver engaging in gardening and harvesting their own grown plants such as tomatoes, eggplants and many more.
I will never get tired to share more here and for today's blog, I want to share to you in what I did to save some space in planting since I don't have a vast area to plant especially to some type of plants.
The plant that will be featured for this post is a vegetable called Pechay or Chinese Cabbage but this vegetable may have another name in your country. This is a leafy vegetable that is mostly used here in my country, Philippines in soups and other dishes. We boiled the leaves also and make a salad just like the shoots of sweet potatoes.
My grandmother asked some seedlings to a certain gardener here in our place and I'm glad that person is kind enough to give 15 healthy seedlings. She asked me to plant it and I'm thinking where to plant it. I thought of planting it in sacks just like what ate 
But the problem is I don't have sacks anymore and I don't have a place where to place it. There's nothing secure here because the chickens of our neighbors are free and there's a lot of snails here that can damage my plants.
So I thought of an idea that I can hang them but I don't have containers anymore that's why I improvised a container using a matured bamboo. Since there's a bamboo that's been cut before, I took the opportunity of using it.
To do it, I used a bolo and a small saw. I cut two small hole in each bracket of the bamboo where I will plant it. I made a mistake at first and didn't make it straight lol but I fixed it yey. With that process I got to make 11 holes.
After that I filled the bamboo with the mixture of loam soil and rice hull as you can see in the photos. Then I planted the pechay in each hole. But before that I removed first the old leaves for it to develop new leaves easier.
Plastic straw is the one I used as a rope for my bamboo pot.
My grandmother was the one who asked it to the store owners here and they gave some. I recycled it and there you go, I got a hanging bamboo pot. It's not that hard to do this one especially if you have the right tools to make it.
I planned to make more and do it in layers. By this one I can prevent the snails to eat my newly planted pechay, anti chickens also and other animals that can harm it.
I watered it afterwards and I imagined how beautiful it is when there's a lot of it in layers. With that one I look forward to see the outcome if this kind of thing will give me good results or not but it's also depends on how I cared it.
I planned to make it in a standing position but I don't have the space where I can put it. Doing this one is really fun and I look forward also to do more of this.
Thank you for reading.
