Mark Rayner has a nifty watering device for your strawberry planter and adds a decorative touch.
You will need: A plastic strawberry planter sandpaper, paint brushes, including artists' brush, 12 strawberry plants, a length of cardboard tube – at least 40mm in diameter, a length of thick dowel (a broom handle will do), large nail or punch, hammer and good quality potting mix. Resene Smooth Surface Sealer, Resene Lumbersider tinted to the following colours: Resene Limelight, Resene Red Hot and a testpot of Resene Green Leaf.
To get the look: Mark painted the background wall with Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Pohutukawa.
Top tip: Inserting a tube running down its centre makes watering the planter much easier and ensures even distribution of water.
Step 1
Lightly sand the entire outside wall of the planter to provide a 'key' so paint will adhere to the surface.
Step 5
Paint the calyx and seeds of each strawberry with two coats of Resene Green Leaf and allow two hours for each coat to dry.
Step 6
Use a nail or hole punch and hammer to make holes down the side of the cardboard tube, as shown.
