DIY container garden from pallets
Take:
- pallet;
- nail puller;
- reliable rope;
- scissors;
- nails;
- hammer.
First you need to disassemble the pallet. A nailer is perfect for this. But if you have such a reciprocating saw, get it. With it, you can cut the fastening nails.
Taking a circular saw, you will cut the through parts of the pallet. But even if you do not have such tools, you can disassemble the pallet using a regular nail puller, and cut the boards using a simple saw.
To prevent the ends of the rope from opening, it is better to burn them over the burner. Take a look at the resulting wooden sectors. Each should consist of two parallel planks and pieces of bars reinforcing them. Attach a nail to each piece to help secure the piece of rope. Then attach the second piece of rope to the next piece of wood. Thus, fix the entire rope on one side and on the other.
Now, using self-tapping screws, fasten the two boards perpendicular to each other. To strengthen this element, you can additionally use metal corners. Attach them to both sides of this structure. Fix the special fastening mechanism here so that the rope can be attached.
Now attach a board to each wooden shelf to make the bottom. You can paint the pallet to make it look more well-groomed. Hang it from the top of the window.
Now it's time to pour soil inside and plant flowers. Here's a hanging garden will turn out.
Plants are very comfortable in these wooden containers, and you can use most of the window to accommodate many flowers here.
If you wish, you can put several small containers here to grow seedlings in this way. Then you will place a lot of cups with containers in such a small area.
You can also make a stand for seedlings, which at the same time turns into a hanging garden, made of plastic. Check out the following collection of ideas.
DIY container garden: how to make a vertical seedling rack
For this, you can use sewer pipes.
Take:
- sewer pipes;
- face saw;
- adapters and connectors for pipes;
- fasteners;
- wooden planks.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Using a miter saw, make holes in the pipes of such a diameter, so that you can then put the seedlings here. The pipes can be connected together to keep the structure strong.
- But another option is also possible. Knock down the rack from the rails and fix the pipes on it. It remains to put in each container a pot of seedlings.
- To allow excess water to drain off, leave small holes on one side of the pipes and hang containers here to collect excess water, such as plastic bottles.
How moisture can drain in such structures is shown in the following photo. Attach a string to the two holes in the bottle. Hang this item on the pipe.
You can also make a rack for seedlings, and at the same time a hanging garden, if you use the same pallet that was taken for the previous master class.
As you can see, you need to place a lot of inverted bottles on it with the tops cut off. Such a rack will accommodate many cups with seedlings. But you need to firmly fix the pallet so that it remains in this position.
Another option is to hang the bottles by tying ropes to them directly under the cork. To do this, first, in such a container, two rectangular slots are made in the center, then flowers are planted here. But you can use a self-tapping screw to fix the lid on the treated board, and then twist the decorated bottle. Here is such an original hanging garden then you will have at home.
