Recycling waste becomes useful for garden

Before you throw away those used cans or anything else for that matter, check to see if you can reuse it somehow in your garden.  This article gives tips on how to reuse commonly thrown away goods like bottles, boxes, bags, old shoes, pieces of cloth or laces. Use your imagination and creativity to enhance the beauty of your place.

 

 

Reuse bottles: Bottles are usually thrown away in the trash every day. Reuse bigger bottles by cutting them vertically into two halves and planting a plant or vines in it. These can also be painted or decorated. Another practical use can be as a water sprinkler. Heat a wool pin and make 7-8 holes at the bottom of a bottle. Attach it to the end of a water pipe and use as a water sprinkler.

 

 

Grow plants in car tyres: A garden full of colorful flower pots in different sizes of tyres. Spray paint the tyres to give it a designer look. Keep them in a row or dig them half in ground or place them on top of each other unequally. They can be filled with soil, and flowers planted in them for visual appeal.

 

 

Light up your garden: Don’t throw jam or pickle jars. Collect five or six jars of same shape and size and hang them on a tree with thick wool thread or jute thread. They can be hung together and candles lit in them in the evening. Instead of normal candles, you can use floating candles as they stay lit for more time.

 

 

 

 

 

Ring the wind chimes with bottle caps: Don’t ignore the bottle caps. Instead, collect it in a box. These can be tied together or sewn to make wind chimes and hung from a tree. Perk them up by drawing a face on it or put colourful dots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Innovative pathways: Gather broken pieces of pottery and tiles add colour and a designer touch to your garden’s pathway. Pebbles of different hues are easily available. These can highlight your path.

 

 

 

Add a feminine touch: Ribbons, laces or round piece of mirrors add a feminine touch. Decorate flower pots, bird houses and others nick-knacks with beautiful laces and ribbons. You can use old colourful clothes, laces, ribbon to decorate pots for a personal touch.
