Last year, I posted about a
bird feeder that I had seen in a magazine. It had a planter in the roof that you could plant succulents in. I thought it looked really neat, and my dad made me one. I got it planted with a variety of plants and got it put up. There was only one small thing that I overlooked...it rains in Alabama, and it rains a lot. All of the dirt washed out of it, leaving behind some sad looking succulents. I knew that I needed to do something but I was stumped, that is until I had a revelation.
Back about 10 years or so ago Martha Stewart had a succulent wreath featured in a magazine. You used a wreath form ad had soil wrapped with sheet moss, poked holes through it and planted the succulents. So I decided to pack sheet moss around the plants and see if that helps. I probably still need to bring it in if it's going to be a lot of rain, but we'll see how it works.

Now I can pretend like I am Aiyana and grow lots of succulents!
