The DIY planter for a garden is a convenient, practical, and most importantly cheap way to grow flowering annuals, spicy herbs, and even medium-sized shrubs on a garden plot. Such vases are also used for planting heat-loving plants, which with the onset of cold weather will be very convenient to carry into the room. It is also important to remember that plants planted in flowerpots and flowerpots require careful care and regular watering. But here it is necessary to observe the measure: stagnation of water will quickly lead to decay of the roots and the death of green spaces.
You can make a flower pot for the garden with your own hands from anything, including waste material. They use a
wooden tub, ceramic vases, an old
children's bath and even rubber boots. But the most popular material is the plain old bald tire. There is really a lot of opportunities for landscape art, the main thing is not to overestimate your strength. A cache-pot made of tires is used both as a practical flowerbed and simply as a decoration. You can put them at the entrance to the garden plot. Garden pots are simple and complex, above ground and hanging. In addition, vases are made both stationary and portable. The main thing is that they harmoniously fit into the overall picture and compositionally combine with other types of decor.
So, in order to make a flower pot for the garden with your own hands, you will need one old tire, a sharp knife or a grinder. The most colorful are flowerpots in the form of animals and birds. From an ordinary tire, you can cut a swan, a turtle, a toucan, a parrot and even a dolphin. In the manufacture of birds, the beak is cut from a wooden plank and screwed to the rubber using a
fixing bolt. Before you start cutting the tire, it is left for several hours under the scorching sun, so that it becomes softer. Small parts can be attached to the flowerpots with a furniture stapler or small nails. To make the tire easier to cut, the knife is periodically dipped in cold water.
There are several important secrets that should not be neglected when making a flower pot for a garden with your own hands. For example, the product must be degreased before painting. This can be done with a common dishwashing detergent. Also carefully select the color scheme. Many noticed that the flowerpots painted in opaque nondescript colors look ugly, faded and very cheap.
Hanging cache-pots are also easily manufactured. The easiest way is to cut the tire in half, make fasteners on both sides, stretch the cord and hang it. Typically, such flowerpots are placed on the veranda, gazebo, near the bathhouse or garage. But leaving them in the open is not recommended, as heavy rains will quickly wash out the soil, exposing the roots of the plants. But if the cache-pot remains on the street, provide drainage holes of the appropriate size in it. Vases hung on fences and walls of buildings look very impressive. But keep in mind that car tires are heavy. Therefore, the basis for their fasteners must be made very strong. In hanging flowerpots, petunias, pelargoniums, begonias and various ivies look very beautiful.
