World's largest hanging basket

dailymail.co.uk — Weighing in at more than a quarter of a tonne, the world's largest hanging basket is certainly going to require a lot of watering. The giant eye-catching floral spectacular measures 20ft by 10ft and took a massive EIGHT hours to winch into position.

  • dext3r, on 01/20/2009, -3/+20WTF? Really, digg? Buried as not only 'Daily Mail', but as 'Hanging Basket'.
  • inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+11More Daily Mail spam, curiously reaching the front page with only 10 comments. What a surprise.
  • inactive, on 01/20/2009, -1/+11I wonder where the world's largest elderly woman is to keep it watered?
  • thespiff, on 01/20/2009, -0/+4What an appropriate article from the world's largest waste of Digg frontpage space.
  • plingboot, on 01/20/2009, -1/+4The best thing about this article is reading their idiot comments - typical daily mail readers trying to make this into 'jobsworth' health and safety issue.
  • scoot3r, on 01/20/2009, -1/+4Really?? this story makes front page....same day as Obama becoming president....wow
  • inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+2Actually, who cares? I just want to see it crush it!
  • inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+2A common occurrence with Mail spam. Someone must be making good money here...
  • benroy, on 01/20/2009, -1/+3Looks like it comes with a gardener to maintain the thing. Score.
  • ClevelandBrown, on 01/20/2009, -1/+3That thing is uglier than the Predator's face.
  • fezzasus, on 01/20/2009, -2/+3Actually, it's a crappy Renault Mégane
  • maryanny, on 08/28/2009, -0/+1that's really huge, but very imaginative and beautiful. My question is if this can last long like a vase? maybe...

  • MrSchler, on 01/21/2009, -0/+1how could it take 8 hours?? you put a winch on it, and u lift it up, then you unhitch it
  • Poydflink, on 01/20/2009, -0/+1Okay, it's stupid news, but a nice photo. Dugg for that.
  • cheezintern, on 01/21/2009, -0/+1This story is about as interesting as the world's biggest quilt, or the world's biggest ball of yarn.
  • plingboot, on 01/20/2009, -0/+1Er... its *supposed* to overly large. That is the ***** point. It's a marketing gimmick. Getting it in proportion to the rest of the building was exactly the opposite of what they had in mind.
  • cloudberries, on 01/20/2009, -0/+1Wow, what a stupid arseface!
