Garden stone pathway
DIY pathways using stones and tiles look so neat and perfect. Use gravel to cover the dirt and soil and viola a professional pathway is installed.

Bury milk jugs in the bottom of large planters. Great idea to make the pots lighter and to make lifting and moving possible. This idea is also good for saving potting soil.

Pallet garden table
The plant column in the center of the table is an amazing idea. With stones it makes a beautiful statement. You can also add a planter or a container in the center of a table by cutting out a piece to it’s size. This will ensure no damage is done to the wood when you water the plants.

Simply loved it ! wonderful ideas has been shared by you.
Absolutely outstanding gardening projects. I love the idea for hiding the air-conditioner and the one for the French vanilla coffee. I will surely use them both.
I am a big fan of DIY gardening projects, especially when it comes to re-purposing some old item, such as a commode, for example. I have a very beautiful herb planter which is made out of an old commode. It is very convenient for the purpose.
