Spotted this trellis on a walk around the neighborhood. What a great recycling project and a sturdy trellis for peas. More on posts trellising peas here http://gardentherapy.ca/spotted-bicycle-whee...

  • Every Spring, I buy Boston ferns in hanging baskets at Lowe's or Home Depot. 2
  • My first secret is to remove the plastic pot they come in and replant them using a good-quality potting mix.
  • I prefer to use coir-lined wire baskets. 3
  • My BEST secret is to install a Rainbird slow-drip automatic watering system.  It's a DIY project.  Really.  See the black tubes hanging down from the porch ceiling?  When the ferns are hung, the tubes are placed above them. 2
  • The tubing is connected to a timer and then to a standard faucet. (Mine's in the basement, but yours can be anywhere.) In the heat of Summer, the timer is set to water twice a day for 10 minutes.
  • This pic was taken in October last year -- after a hot Summer.  Ferns as large and lush as ever.  Yours can be, too!  Check out my blog link for more step-by-step pics. 2
  • How about doing the same thing for your flower beds?  You can!  http://www.hometalk.com/1455316/how-to-have-beautiful-plants-all-summer-long-even-when-you-re-away

  • Pallet markings were celebrated by placing them in prominent places. Coffee bean sacks acting like large pillow cases were just tucked in place. No sewing required. 2

Tire Planters

Old tires don't have to be useless, there are so many fabulous projects using old tires.... Here is my take on a hanging tire planter. Plant colorful flowers in the summer and beautiful ...»
mums in the fall.

A side note on paint: While I realize that other repurposed tires have been painted, I chose not to paint mine, leaving the tire, just as it is: a tire. The flowers add enough color for me. I also live in Toronto where we get some pretty nasty weather and paint would just peel, crack and chip off. Kudos to those who paint tires and have them looking pretty all year round!
