Here is a perfect project to do this fall.  If you’re a little handy with a bag of concrete mix, you’ll have no trouble tackling this one.

Materials needed are simple.  One 10′ long 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 pressure treated post.  Decorative plant hangers, easily found on any garden website, or at your nearest nursery, 1 – 2 bags of ready mix fence post concrete mix.  One decorative finial of your choice.

Attach your finial to the top of your post.  Dig a hole at least 3′ deep.  Place the post upright in the hole – you may need an extra set of hands to hold in place while you pour in the concrete mix.  Follow the manufacturers directions with the mix, but usually you just have to pour in dry and add water while it is in the hole – simple.  Allow to dry thoroughly.  After a few days attach your plant hangers.  Plant flowers and/or bushes around the base, use your creativity.  This adds a lovely focal point to any garden.  Have fun!
