Speaking about what interesting ideas for a garden garden with your own hands you can quickly bring to life, let's dwell on the following. Summer residents know how quickly the soil dries up in street pots. If a heavy downpour has passed, the water, on the contrary, can stand in the pot and lead to rotting of the plant roots. Ordinary baby diapers will help to create optimal soil moisture in such a container. They will absorb excess moisture, and will give it back in drought.
To do this, simply place the diaper on the bottom of the planter, add soil, water it, plant a plant. Now you don't have to worry about how green pets feel in the country while you are in the city at work.
How to make a pond from a tire in the country?
Using interesting creative ideas, you will create it with ease. Look at the photo of the master class, which indicates the stages of work. Then prepare what you need, this:
- tire;
- durable film;
- decorative stones;
- knife;
- plants;
- cement;
- sand.
If you plan to use the tire as a small decorative artificial reservoir, then you can take a tire from a car. If you want to take water procedures in such a homemade pool on a hot day, in this case you will need a tire from a truck, tractor or special equipment.
Clean the tire from dirt, leave only one side of the wheel, cut the other off with a sharp knife.
To make it easier to cut the tire, lubricate it with laundry soap. Cut the cord with a hacksaw. The tire can be completely dug into the soil or only a third. Put it in place, sketch out the outline of the wheel with a shovel. Dig the soil to the desired depth. If you want to make a decorative pond to decorate the area in which they will not swim, then lay thick cellophane inside the tire. Secure the edges with stones.
Make sure that the film is not too stretched, but is loosely placed in the tire, so that the cellophane does not break during operation.
Prepare a mortar with cement, sand and water. Using it, lay the rest of the stones around the edge of the pool. When the concrete dries well, it remains to pour water, and you will have a decorative pond in the country. It is nice to plant aquatic plants with your own hands.
If you plan to swim in it, then you need to dig depressions in the soil along the contours of the wheel, select the ground, pour a gravel-sand cushion, fill it with cement on top. When it dries, place a tire on the platform, pour 2 more buckets of concrete into it, level it so that there are no holes left between the bottom and the walls of the pool.
In a decorative pond, the water can be cleaned with a net or by periodically adding preparations to the water to clean it. And in a do-it-yourself pool, you need to drain the water after it gets dirty to replace it with clean water. See how the drain system works.
Creative ideas will tell you how to decorate such a pond or pool in the country. Before filling with water, it can be painted inside and outside.
If you plant moss along the edge of a dug-in pond, such a pond will also look great. Small stones can be placed inside.
The exterior finish of the pond from stones, which are "planted" on a concrete solution, looks beautiful.
If you do not have a summer cottage, but want to have a small decorative pond, make it out of a large planter and put it on the windowsill. Among indoor flowers, this one looks wonderful and creates the humid microclimate they need.
For a small home pond you will need:
- flower pots or pot;
- a strip of roofing material, corrugated iron or other waterproof material;
- clay soil;
- water;
- aquatic plants.
Bend a tape of waterproof material near one side of the pot, pour soil here, and plant the plants. Pour water into a planter, plant pond plants such as lilies here.
And if you have not one, but several tires at your dacha, then, in addition to a pond or a pool, you can make a swing for children. For the first, you need to first cut a groove on the side of the tire, turn the tire to the other side. Both sides are cut as petals. It remains to tie 2 strong ropes, and the children's swing for the summer cottage is ready.
You can also make such a swing for children. For similar use:
- tire;
- wooden board;
- bars;
- saw;
- paint;

Saw the tire in two. Attach a board to any halves, mark where the bars will be located. Also attach them to the tires with self-tapping screws. It remains to paint your creation, let the coating dry, and the swing is ready for giving. The photo shows the stages of work.
