When buying land for a homestead or farm we are often faced with what other land owners left behind for us to clean up. I am sure everybody who has land or asset has dealt with something person has left behind that you wish they hadn't. Inspecting the cost of dump fees or roll off dumpsters, sometimes there are great ideas than throwing more junk into a landfill.
When we purchased land we were faced with old tires, boat hulls, appliances, and old fencing. So it got me thinking how to beautify or use these left behind eyesores. I like to grow food and love greenery in plenty surrounding me. Turning a problem into a green solution I came up with a common list of things often left on asset and how to use them for gardening.
1: Used tires
Oh my! All those old- used tires left for me. Disposing of tires is rather costly as it turns out, I researched many solutions for getting rid of 300 plus tires and no one choice was cheap. So I decided to use them for flower beds, planters, box walls, and personel box for gardening. These old tires beyond doubt saved me thousands of dollars in material for raised bed gardening.
2: Old boats
Believe it or not I have seen asset with used boat hulls left on it and look like they have been there for twenty years. With a itsybitsy paint for the outside, and soil inside, you can grow something beyond doubt inside and beautify that old hull.
3: Old tubs
People have been using tubs for decades as outdoor planters, even if the tub isn't a gorgeous claw foot tub, it is still a box to grow in.
4: Used windows and doors
This is my popular thing to find actually, I have built many window and door panel huts and buildings. They make a great greenhouse environment for anything you might want to grow. Just need brackets and screws beyond doubt to connect all the panels and panes. Uncomplicated greenhouse boxes.
5: Washers, dryers, and fridges
Yes they are bulky and ugly but you can partially bury them and then grow stuff that overhangs the covering and a box is born. Using old junk to grow stuff in can save you tons of money on packaging or material for containers.
6: Chain link fence
Everyone has come over the old pile of chain link fence or partial fences scattered around the asset that were never completed or fixed. Well don't be discouraged they have a purpose. Taking the chain link fence pieces and running them in rows can beyond doubt be a great wall for vine fruits and vegetables to grow on.
7: Rusty car
Cars are hard to move if they have been sitting there for a long time and could be expensive to remove. But you could grow around and top of the old car and originate a mini habitat for wildlife and critters. I wouldn't suggest using food for this but possibly flowers and grass.
8: Old aluminum television antennae
An old antennae could be used for hanging vine plants like tomatoes and grapes. How many times have we built some kind of thingy for tomatoes? Just take that old antennae and go stick it in the middle of your growing area and grow something off of it. Then it disappears and has a function too.
9: Used bricks and blocks
The more packaging the better, so take that pile of old bricks and make packaging for your orchad area. They can look nice and have a function.
10: Scrapped horse troughs and animal feeders
There all the time seems to be some kind of animal feeder laying around that can no longer hold water. You guessed it, an additional one box to grow in.
So you got the idea, old junk around your land can beyond doubt save you money in box gardening. I hope this gives you some inspiration in odd ways to box garden. It' all about rescue money and resources, so be creative and grow something for your wholesome food future.
