Plants vs Zombies: 5 Places to Grow the Green
We tried installing two lemon balm plants on our balcony, but under the relentless heat and torrential rain... We've ended up with two pots of the shrivelled undead!
If you've got greener fingers than we do, how about little green guys to ward off the zombies when they come?
1. In soup cans
Strip the paper off your soup cans... And make herb favours for future soups! via Something Green
2. On yourself
We love Wearable Planter's petite creations for bikes, bodices, lapels and clavicles on Etsy. A tad pricey at US$30 to 45, shipping notwithstanding, but if you're reluctant... Consider using Sculpey and an oven to create tiny containers to let plants perch on you. Dill is purportedly great at enduring the rain, and tiny orchids make hardy tropical companions.
3. In a bottle
Terrariums are low-maintenance, noob-friendly ways to introduce green guys to our shelves, bathrooms and bedside tables.
Little Green Pot creates affordable open and closed versions for about S$18 to 36. Closed terrariums quite likely do not need to be watered for as long as they live...!
There's even a DIY kit at S$20 for those of you who want to dabble in design but would like all components in one simple solution.
Larger, more upmarket options at are available at Paperus.
Consider gathering your own materials and making a terrarium on your own!
4. On a wall... In animal shapes and typography
One wonders if moss graffiti is still considered unlawful here... Whatever, we'd love to paint this on the side of our own walls! More examples here.
The most feasible recipe seems to use beer and sugar, but this one with buttermilk and water retention gel sounds viable too.
5. In the last place you'd think of
