    VERTICAL WINDOW BOX GARDEN PROJECT LIST:


    TOOLS:


    1. Flip your plastic window boxes upside down and drill a few holes to allow for proper drainage. Fill each planter box with soil and the desired plants for growing in the space.
    2. Hang 2-3 retail grid hooks in an even height so the window boxes will lay level on top of them.
    3. Take one bungee cord and place one hook around a cross bar, wrapping the flexible bungee around the window box, holding it in place by connecting the second hook on the other side.
    4. Level the window box and bungee cord to your liking so they sit flat, if needed.
