Making a Grapevine Basket for Ginger

I love ginger root so I've decided to grow the plant. It won't winter over in Tennessee so I needed a pot to put it in. I searched the yard and shed and didn't find one suitable, but I did find an empty metal stringer that didn't have a coir. I did have some grapevine so here is a video of me making the liner from this organic material.



I wasn't sure how symbiotic ginger and grapevine might behave. I planned to use a plastic bag as a barrier between the grapevine material and the soil, but then I found an old Halloween candy bowl in the garage that fit the diameter of the basket perfectly.
