Origami Garbage Bin. Een serre op je terras - woonblog. Als je met ons Belgisch weer het jaar door groenten en fruit wil telen is een serre onmisbaar.
Maar dat neemt natuurlijk veel plaats in die er niet is wanneer je enkel een terras, balkon of kleine tuin hebt. Daarom zijn we nu op zoek naar een kleine serre die je als een kast tegen de muur kan plaatsen. Deze Green vitrine van het Finse merk Kekkilä is dan ook een droom. Je kan op de schapjes kleine plantjes opkweken, en hij is toch hoog genoeg om grote tomaten- en komkommerplanten in te laten groeien. Overtollig water wordt onderaan opgevangen, en wanneer de temperatuur te heet wordt opent het dakraampje automatisch om de serre af te koelen. Foto's: www.kekkila.com. Repurposed rain gutters. Build a $10 Cedar Raised Garden Beds. UPDATE: Here's those cedar beds I built for $10 bucks each . . . just before the moose ate the entire garden :( I can't rave enough about these beds, my garden was amazing and super low maintenance.
BUILD THESE. It's a must build. A while back while shopping at the Blue Store - AKA Lowes - shopping for mortar and grout and stuff for our river rock stone veneer for the face of our house, I happened to smell some cedar. And I love the smell of cedar. So I followed my nose to a pile of dogeared 1x6s on special for $1.59 each. Build a Folding Plant Stand. Organizing Garden Tools with PVC. I love the "Keeping it Real" posts that fellow bloggers post.
We all know that we share the best photographs and that often the other side of a room is a disaster. I will be showing to you the disaster that I spent the Memorial Day weekend rectifying. That would be the tool shed. It was embarrassingly disorganized and non-functional. But thanks to bloggy inspiration, today it is not! Today, our garden tools stand at attention in organized (and labeled) fashion. There is utter chaos in here. Then I started planning, arranging, looking at the space. Next I had to deal with the garden tools. I knew a variation would work in our tool shed. First I cut the pieces to length at an angle on the band saw. We have a lot of tools so I made a lot of PVC holders. I then drilled holes into each end. When I emptied out the tool shed I found an old piece of 3/4" plywood from a project from 35 years ago (I can't believe I have saved it for 35 years - I finally found a second use!)
Here it is in place. Alternative Energy and Gardning.
