THE DREAM…
The dream of every gardener is to have a beautiful yard–one that they enjoy relaxing in, as well as draws the admiration of passersby and visitors. But, achieving this takes more than hard work, dedication, and time. To get a beautiful garden, some people spend a fortune on supplies; however, you do not need so much money to make your garden equally impressive.
Transforming Your Yard with Household Items
You can have a beautiful yard without spending a fortune by repurposing household items. With a little creativity and reusable items, your yard can look exquisite, costing you minimal spending in cash. Below are some creative ways you can repurpose household items in your yard:
1. Transform Unwanted Containers into Beautiful Planters
You can have a variety of beautiful planters all made from tins, pots, and baskets you no longer use. You can paint the containers in different creative patterns to make them unique and unlikely to be found in any other garden. Here are some tips on how to create a container garden.
2. Turn Your Waste into Fertilizer
Fertilizers provide the necessary nutrients for plants to thrive but can be expensive. You can turn your kitchen waste into organic compost for your garden, thereby saving money on the cost of purchasing commercially made fertilizers.
3. Create Walkways and Borders with Old Bricks
Old bricks are sold cheaply; sometimes, you get them for free after a renovation or from friends. You can use these old blocks in creating a walkway to and around your garden. The bricks can also serve as borders between plants and sections of your garden.
4. Create Plant Nurseries Using Recycled Items
You’ll need containers to serve as nurseries for delicate plant seedlings. You can use recycled bottles, juice, or milk cartons to plant delicate seedlings until they are strong enough to be planted in the garden.
5. Turn Old Bathtubs into Garden Pool
If you have an old bathtub, don’t dispose of it just yet. You can convert it into a beautiful pool in your garden, which can be an impressive addition. You should try it.
We all have items in our home we no longer use. You can create a new purpose for these items in your yard. If you need more unconventional ideas to make your yard look outstanding, you can reach out to us at Levy’s Lawn & Landscape today!
