Use Old Guttering To Plant Up Strawberries
Instead of throwing out old plastic guttering when it has to be replaced, use it as an inexpensive container for strawberry plants. Place the guttering in lengths stacked on top of one another and fasten to the wall of your home or garage. In addition to creating a beautiful display, doing this will prevent you from bending over low flowerbeds and make the plants easier to pick when they are ready.
Make A Planter With Built-In Drainage
Using an old metal colander and four lengths of chain to create a hanging basket is another fantastic method to save money on a planter. The benefit of using a colander is that it comes with built-in drainage holes, so you won’t have to worry about your roots getting clogged with water. To create a lovely show, fill it with a variety of blooming and trailing plants.
Bring Your Inside Furniture, Out!
Bring your indoor chairs and side tables outside and put them up in a sunny area of the garden to save money and space. Although living in a high-rise apartment isn’t ideal, if you can avoid spending money on seating that is primarily used in sheds, you’re winning, right? Consider rattan seats on the patio, wicker chairs on your balcony, and stylish cane armchairs tucked away among the plants.
Make Vegetable Tags From Corks
When drinking wine with pals, save the corks and turn them into vegetable tags. Slice off the top fifth of the cork to reveal a flat surface, and then write the names of each vegetable on it with a permanent marker. To give your tag height, insert a wooden skewer into the bottom of the cork. When you are growing your vegetables, bury the tag in the earth to serve as a visual cue.
Make A Pallet Planter
Utilizing a few used pallets, create a planter that serves as both a privacy screen and a planter (and a bit of DIY knowledge). A planter can be filled with herbs for individuals wishing to “grow their own,” flowers to bring color to the yard, or, if you include some taller plants, it can also serve as a privacy screen to divide spaces or deter prying eyes.
Create A Candle Centerpiece
To create a straightforward patio display, use old terracotta pots. Place a number of dinner candles inside the sand-filled pots. Use three standard-sized candles or seven to nine thin tapered candles since odd numbers appear aesthetically balanced.
Put them on the table as a rustic centerpiece or place them along paths to shed light and foster a laid-back atmosphere. Use candles that contain citronella essential oil to ward off bothersome mosquitoes.
Make A Plant Marker
Labels made of slate will beautify your pots. By making useful labels to stick in your herb pots, you’ll never confuse your chives with your chervil again. On miniature slate tiles, write the names of the plants using a white marker pen or a piece of chalk (if you want to rub them out).
Using pliers, bend wire to create rods with coiled hooks for hanging things. On the back of the marker, note how frequently plants require watering.
