Needing a sizable pot to plant them in, my eye traveled to the now unused dust bin (we now use a wheely bin) and being a Thrifty Girl and a family doing our Year If Thrift, money saving was important.
Plus, just imagine how many of us have these through out the county?
So I put mine to good use!
1. Gather together plants you want to pot up
2. Take your unused dust bin. Give it a wash out.
3. Measure how high you want your planter all the way around your bin.
Make a hole with an awl or a screwdriver to allow the hand saw to cut at the desired hight.
4. Using a hand saw, cut as straight a line around the rim of the bin as you can.
5. Add a good quality potting composts and your chosen plants. And voila, you have a cost free and recycled planter.
brilliant idea thank you for sharing have a blessed day
ReplyDeleteI quite enjoy your blog. Being a native California girl, your humor and your ingenuity just intrigues me, your ideas are not unlike my own, and my husband is named Graham. I almost thought for awhile we could be twins separated at birth. I found your blog while looking for information on your Singer 327K. I'm a collector and repairwoman of old Singers. I shall enjoy following your blog. Judy Abernathy
