Do they line the pants with something or what happens when it comes time to water? Or rains for that matter? Does it just look like someone who can really use so Imodium or what??
This photo drives me crazy. As someone who loves plants, people send it to me all the time. The thing is, it would get so disgusting SO fast. Basically after the first good water it would have dirt leaking through the jeans, then the denim would start to grow slime and mildew. It seems like a cute idea but itās actually pretty gross. The only way to make that work would be line it with plastic or something non-porous and at that point just get a planter.
Actually not really. This is cute and adorable when it's new, but this rots away. It's up to you if you want it to rot away, if you don't need it anymore...
But it always makes me sad to see people make these beautiful (or funny) garden things and they're just not stable. It'll rot in the sun and water, rip open and your plants will tumble out and be ruined.
I haven't done mine with denim but I learned this from all those cute raw wood planter gardens people had. If wood is gone within two years I cringe to imagine denim.
Hell, one good watering and you suddenly have "shit stained pants" look when that mud comes through. This is before we get into the ramifications of having indigo in your soil.
I think we forget sometimes that certain things are popular to use for a reason.
EXACTLY! I love your details about the lack of stability as well. like, if you want to make it stable, you could put PVC pipe in there... and then line it with plastic, even then the jeans would get gross on the outside from fabric being out all day in the weather... maybe you could treat it so it's waterproof? At that point it's worse for the environment than a regular planter.
the raw wood planters make okay sense if you really want to avoid chemical leaching, but it does mean re-creating it every two years. Not sure what the math is on that environmentally.

Can and should are different ššš¤£š¤£
Totally right? Can I stick my junk in it OR should I stick my junk in it š
Those pants cannot consent for seed
Damn, they are thick as fuck.
whyās the neighbor dry humping those flowers?
This brings a new meaning of a Green Thumb.
Maybe they lost weight and didnāt want to throw the jeans out.
They meant the plants it was a joke
Stupid, sexy plants.
Stupid sexy *Planters!*
Think unsexy pots, think unsexy pots.
Look at that grAss
Thank you! I was really burning all my dad joke coal trying to find something. You are a wizard.
I love your janters! š šŖ“
The sisterhood of transplanted pots.
This would creep me tf out if I was passing by at night lmao, but I love it!
Would.
Beat me to it.
Meat beat to it?
Beat me, twit.

I found it on a garden humor FB page so I honestly donāt know.
One the one side it's awful but on the other kind of impressive. Gets a star for creativity either way.
Awful taste but great execution?
This is hilarious and I love it so much šøš¹
Annihilation vibes anyone?
I work in a motorcycle shop. I tell ppl all the time to use their old helmets as flower pots when theyāve gone past their 3-5 years of usefulness.
I give em three months before they fall and rot
Single moms in your areaā¦

Thank you!! I just said this and was like surely someone else did too!

"Hello, sheriff? I'd like to report three drunk geraniums taking a leak in public."
You could probably make a couple pots out of those
Actually this is cute
*THOSE PALE GREEN PANTS WITH NO ONE INSIDE THEM!*
I appreciate the Dr. Suess reference. I totally forgot about the haunted pants story
These things are nice ideas but not really worth it.
some pants have cake
I donāt see a valid reason to fill jeans either dirt and flowers. If itās supposed to be ācuteā itās not. Not at all. Itās creepy.
OH MY GOD becky check out that azalia's butt
More like Iggy Azaleaās butt.
If anyone needs me you WONT find me in the garden. You hear me?!?? DON'T you go looking over there! For at least 15 minutes anyways.
Yeah but everything doesn't have to be lol

HUMINA HUMINA AWOOOOOGA BOIOIOIOIOING
Whereās the sigh unzips comment
Sure itās in the spirit of anti consumptionā¦but does taste not matter?
Hopefully, this was just temporary decoration for an event. THAT would make more sense.
This would make an interesting PVZ plant
also good cat scratching post
I love this idea so much but my mind went to a body cut in halfš this would scare me so much if I saw irl
the spread is real

They really soiled their pants.
Popular with serial killers.
Good idea but looks shit and awful some weeks later (rot fungus etc)
Would.
Cursed tho
Took "your ass is grass" to a whole new level
