TURNING YOUR HOME WASTE MATERIALS INTO BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES-TIPS

We cannot dispute the fact that almost each home in the current world has a lot of wastes that are always disposed in different ways. Most of these disposal ways involves destroying the wastes in many disparate ways. But who said that this is the only way of treating these wastes? And moreover, who even said that these are wastes? Maybe we can brand them the name useful wastes because they can really be useful in your homes if reused correctly.

For instance, u might one time had a flat tyre or a demolished vehicle and your wheels are left unused or rather used by kids to play their games. Eventually, these tyres oftenly get lost or even get burnt depending on an occasion. Why should this be their fate and we know that tyres a rubber in nature and they can stay intact as long as we can imagine? These 'Waste material can really shape your home to something so unique and epic. Can you imagine painting the tyres into different blending colours, then filling them with good amounts of soil or growing media then doing plants on them. Can't this transform your homes? You can then place the container or planter tyres at different strategic places in your compound and you can note the difference!

This might be a little bit funny but what do u think about your foot wear? Any type of shoe can beautify your compound. never throw them as waste just because they are old or maybe torn. Of cause, they have volume inside them, whether they a open or closed. What you need is to just fill them with the growing media, paint their outside with the right colour of your choice and you can hang or put them on the ground depending on how your landscape is. this can really transform your compound to something that is fun and beautiful to look at. Plants will well grow in them making them as good planter as any other type of planter.

Other furniture such as old seats, broken seats and chairs can also be as well used as planters when done correctly. For instance, an old seat can be partially filled with a growing media such as sawdust. spreading plants can afterwards be well and evenly planted. these plants are mainly used because they well protect the growing media against erosion. Sage plant can well serve that function. Such seat planters can maybe be put at the sides of the main way to the entry door of a house. provide nice views along the way as shown below.

Kitchen furniture such as the plastic bowls and washing basins can also be well trimmed to make beautiful planters. they can thereafter be filled with the growing medium and plants can be made to grow well on them. the nature of their shape will wholly depend on you as they can be cut at their round tops to produce different shapes which are pleasant as shown below.
