Garden on a budget: Upcycling & DIY for your precious garden

There is something very satisfying about allowing old and useless objects to shine in new splendour with very little effort. Especially in the garden and on the balcony upcycling & DIY projects are often used.

These homemade garden projects are fun, more beautiful than anything you can buy by default and are also easy on your wallet.

If you like vintage flair and want to live it up not only inside your four walls but also outside, this heck makes it easy: Place old vessels, bowls or other (perhaps unconventional) containers decoratively outside, plant them and let nature do its thing. The Vintage Shabby Look comes with the passage of time and depending on weather conditions all by itself.

With a bit of luck, you’ll only have to dig around in the garage or tool shed for this DIY and you’ll have all your things together: A wooden beam to be mounted horizontally on a fence, and the same number of small pots and S-shaped-hooks. This DIY project is particularly good if the pots are planted with salad – and the in-house salad bar is ready.

Thanks to easily accessible Euro pallets, the salad bar can be extended to a salad buffet over several floors. For this project, the pallet simply has to be leaned upright against a fence or wall, the recesses then acting as supports for the balcony boxes. A fresh coat of paint will certainly not harm the whole construction.
