If you ever pass by the baby section of the department store or any baby store, you might just bump into this cute red bug pod. This is a bath toy and bath accessories organizer for toddlers. But instead of using it as a bath or toy organizer we used it for our mini garden by the balcony.
And yes! we are going to grow some lettuce!
Since our creative juices are always working we could not just plant these on regular pots! Right?! So we planted them in to this Bug Pod! We are pretty sure that after you have seen these pictures of the bug pod you will find your own creative inspiration on how to make use of this!
Here's how we were able to place the potting soil in to the scooper.
Just take some coconut liners and line them on the sides of the scooper (the red area of the bug pod). Inside or in between the liners we filled it up with potting soil. We took the lettuce sprouts (with the soil intact with the roots) and one by one plugged them in to each hole.
The bug pod will become a bit heavy as you fill it up with potting soil so you may not be able to hang it. We just kept ours on the ground and it looks both as a decorative garden ornament at the same time as a pot! All we need to do now is water this everyday and give it some sunlight.
Don't you just think this bug really needs to be in the garden and not in the bathroom?! :)
