Flower bottles from their own hands: photos and videos

But unfortunately, annuals - plants are rather capricious, and it's not always possible to plant them so that the flowers form a beautiful flowerbed.

The optimal solution to the issue is the flowerbeds of plastic bottles and their scraps, which are easy to make even with their own hands, especially having photos and video for inspiration at hand.

Step-by-step instruction for making flower beds from plastic bottles

Weak roots of plants, their sensitivity totemperature changes and weather, which is not always favorable in the Russian latitudes even in summer - all this makes the creation of a beautiful flowerbed of annuals a difficult task.

Plastic bottles and other containers in this planwill be excellent helpers - they can pre-plant flowers, and then from the resulting seedling to form a full-fledged flower bed. So, how can this be done?

First, take a few empty plasticbottles from carbonated beverages or water - are suitable as a one and a half and two liter containers (for example, from the most that neither is usual Coca-Cola), and five-liter plastic cans from under the water for a cooler.

We cut the tanks approximately in the middle, we remove the upper part - we will not need it any more, - but the lower part will serve as a kind of plastic pots.

At the bottom of each plastic bottle and on the sides we make several holes - for this purpose you can use a thick awl, a screwdriver or a conventional kitchen knife.

Holes are necessary so that plastic does not blockaccess to air and moisture, necessary for the growth of flowers. Inside the bottles we pour the earth and plant our flowers. It is best to wait a few days until the plants adapt to the new conditions, and then arrange the flower bed of plastic bottles, as in the photo, already in the open air.

To do this, we must dig deep enoughpit (such that the seedling in bottles fit in it completely), put bottles with seedlings of flowers on the bottom, and then return the excavated soil to the place and sprinkle the soil with the resulting flower bed. After a while, the flowers will finally take over, and the flowerbed will be all summer and autumn delight you with bright colors of flowering plants.

Colorful fences for flower beds from plastic bottles in the garden

With the help of plastic bottles, not onlyarrange the flower bed in the garden, but simply decorate any garden plantations - the remains of plastic containers, especially of colored plastic, are perfect for arranging the original flower garden fences.

Before building a garden fenceplastic bottles, think over the design - in fact the flowerbed itself can be not only round, but also square, oval or absolutely original shape. Estimate the future shape of the flower bed, and, accordingly, the fence on a sheet of paper - and only then go to the preparation of improvised materials.

Fencing for the flower bed of plastic bottles wewe will do from scraps of plastic containers - just like in the previous example, plastic bottles need to be washed, cut off the top or left intact (then the bottles will have to be dug into the ground to a great depth).

We designate a place for the future flowerbed on the ground and build a fence of bottles, digging the containers into the ground as deep as possible, so that only the bottom of the bottle remains above the ground.
