King Barrel

Currently my mom and I are trying to figure out what we are going to do about our backyard because it is nothing but compacted dirt! We've decided that we want a big section of it to be a garden area in planter boxes. But we didn't want just plain old planter boxes so my mom went online and started searching for alternatives, and she found King Barrel!

http://www.kingbarrel.com/Outdoor%20Living/outdoorlivinghom.htmlThis is a company that re-purposes wine barrels by turning them into planter boxes, pet beds, fountains, etc.

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.
