Today it is customary to recycle the old, make it new and shiny, take advantage of everything that is ready to be thrown away to recover it and avoid more waste. We know that plastic bottles are widely used in gardening because just by cutting them in half it is possible to have a simple pot, however it is not the only object that you can use.
Inspiration at home
Look around you and discover everything that is beautiful and that you no longer use. The easiest thing is to start with the glass containers and old cups and vasesThose inherited from the grandmother that look great with rose bushes and pansies.
If you find those old bowls you can take advantage of them to put some soil and plant small plants or cacti. Remember that you always have to make a hole in the base so that there is a hole through which the water drains.
If you want to raise the stakes, keep in mind the coffee bags. Did you know that with them you can create sturdy pots? Choose the ones that are made of strong plastic and fill them with soil to grow indoor plants. The aromatic ones are perfect in these cases because they do not grow too much.
Nowadays it is very fashionable to have vintage pots so you can make them yourself if you take advantage of the empty cans. You just have to paint them and place the plants that you like the most. There are those who claim that toilet paper rolls also work well to house small plants although I have not tried them and I do not know how much they can resist the presence of water without being ruined.
And if you consume milk cartons, you can open them in half and arrange them in a row to have a urban garden where to cultivate vegetables and aromatic plants neatly.
Abroad
If we talk about the exterior, the ideal is to choose those objects that, in addition to not deteriorating over time, have a generous surface area and allow the plants to spread without difficulties.
All the disused forklifts are very interesting, the same as the glass fish tanks and metal watering cans.
I saw the image of the cans of peas acting as flower pots, well that's real for a little while, not even painted will last as they rust, I use them to bury them and generate iron to nourish the soil and plants. False things, Argentines tend to lie. Lucky graduate. We have to learn a lot, a lot still.
