It's a great idea because not only do the wine barrels look nice in your garden, but it is taking something that normally would've been torn apart and thrown away and giving it a new functional life. If this ends up being our final pick for our backyard I will make another blog with pictures of the finished product and all the ways we used our wine barrels :) either way I think this is an amazing idea.
I once set up a little patio garden with a coupld of large whiskey barrels. Same idea that you are talking about with the wine barrels. I had one with a tomato plant and the other had a variety of herbs. It was great to cook dinner using my fresh herbs just a few feet from my kitchen. We also grew some other vegatables on the side of the house. My kids loved gathering the veggies for dinner.
ReplyDeletethat sound like a good idea, I will try it at my house. I see carpenter do that on the diy network. they also have some cool idea as well.check it out when you have time.
ReplyDeletethis is a great idea! the list of possible plant beds are endless. I can't wait to have a backyard or space of my own to start growing.
