With spring here and summer well on it’s way, many of you may be thinking of planting a garden. If you do not have space in your yard then you may want to think about a container or pot garden. BUT if you are on a tight budget those garden pots can be a little pricey. But with a little imagination, and creative thinking you can turn one mans “trash” into a up-cycled garden.
My Mom wanted to plant her tomatoes in a pot this year. She is kind of like Mary Poppins with a paint brush, and can turn a drab old worn out vacuum canister into a bright and sunny pot to hold this years tomato plants (or grandchildren). First she sprayed it yellow with spray paint… then she tole painted a happy little garden and sealed it all with clear coat.
Well that is one vacuum canister that will not be in the dump anytime soon! So while yard selling, or cleaning out your garage … be creative and see what you can up-cycle and use in your garden! What money saving garden ideas do you have?
