A flowerbed in a basket - an original idea for a flower garden 82 photos ^Favorite

 

Moreover, improvised means are used to decorate the flower garden in the most literal sense - sticks stick thicker into the ground around the perimeter of the planned flowerbed, a fence of the desired size and height is woven from long thin twigs and pieces of bark. All of these materials in the countryside can really lie right under your feet. Even dry branches and bark can be used by soaking them previously in water for a couple of days.

But best, of course, willow rods are suitable. Harvest the necessary quantity from spring and you will have excellent material for the flowerbed and not only.

We make a flower bed in this order.

• carefully remove the bark from the rods;
• cut along the length so that everything turns out the same;
• we designate a site and hammer pegs in a circle;
• the distance between the pegs is arbitrary, but the denser they are installed, the more reliable the fence will be .;
• then we pass the rods between the pegs, as in the picture;
• after the fifth row, tap to the right and left of the peg with a wooden hammer, this is for sealing;
• fasten the ends of the rods.

 

The resulting recess is filled with a suitable earthen mixture, in which selected flowers are sown or planted - one or perennials. You can choose plant varieties so that they bloom from spring to autumn, decorating the site.

The flowerbed can be of any shape, for example square or rectangular. The principle of installation and weaving is the same as that of round

It is even easier to make such a flowerbed, just fill the pegs and on the slit side we start weaving the rods.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The rods should be laid tightly, tapping with a wooden hammer so that cracks do not form after drying.

The difference with a round flowerbed is that in this case we weave each wall separately, and then fasten it at the joints. In principle, such sections can be made in advance and then driven into the ground, but there are some nuances here, because they will have to be dried first.

 

Flowerbed basket with support

 

If you plan to plant a flowerbed basket with climbing plants, make support for them. Visually, it will be like a basket with a handle. The result will be a high wicker structure in human height, it will look very nice if you put it on the porch or gate at the entrance to the courtyard.

 

 

 

 

 

The manufacture of such a basket will not take much time, the main thing is to pre-prepare the bars of the required length. For our flowerbed, you will need twigs of up to two meters. Then make a template from plywood or thick cardboard. This will be the foundation around which we will build a flower bed. Since the basket will not be completely round, in this case there is a back support wall, make a cut from the side of the template on one side.

 

 

 

 

Prepare the site, in the place where the flowerbed will be located, it is necessary to remove the turf and prepare a small depression in a circle, in a word, a small trench. We will insert thick bars into it, the future wall of the basket. The distance between the rods can be chosen arbitrarily, but not more than fifteen centimeters.

 

 

Then we begin to weave the basket, the first vine will lie on the ground, braid the pegs with several rods, moving one peg with each level. So that the tips do not stick out, they can be cut or neatly woven into the edge of the row.Each "tape" must be woven to the end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where we have a wall, we marked it with a cropped pattern, the ends of the rods must be assembled and diagonally twisted with opposite ends. It should get such a high "handle" that can be fixed with wire. Then from the long rods of the wall we form a “lattice”. The work is finished on this, then the most pleasant part, we fill the soil and plant flowers. A combination of flowers and climbing plants will look very nice.

 

 

 

Flowerbed from an old basket

 

If you don’t know how to weave and don’t want to learn, although it’s simple, can make a flower bed from an old basket, although it is possible from a new one, if not sorry. There is nothing to do here at all, except to soak the basket with an antiseptic, otherwise it will become unusable in the ground very quickly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are two options, you can make a stationary flowerbed, remove the bottom from the basket and deepen it into the ground or use it as a portable flowerpot, and put, say, on the veranda. Or suspend, which is often done. But in this case, consider the first option, the photo shows how from two old baskets made a stationary flowerbeds, and one of them was laid on its side, is also beautiful. In this case, unpretentious summer flowers were used - nails and pansies. But if you install a flowerbed for a long time, you can plant seeds of perennial plants in the spring.

Hanging pots from the basket

 

As mentioned above, you can make a wonderful hanging planter from the basket, for this you can use ordinary baskets, but to get beautiful, it is better to use special ones, for flowers, better than different sizes. In this case, a three-basket option is shown. You can, of course, and more, if there is where to hang. In general, we need to purchase baskets and find a strong rope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First, I will distribute the flowers, depending on which composition we have in mind. In the upper part, you can plant plants that will hang beautifully, because the usual ones simply will not be visible, but something brighter below or vice versa, as in the photo, is also good.

Then we assemble the structure, we need to make sure that the distance between the baskets is the same. You can put everything on the floor, as in the photo and carefully measure it. Next we thread the rope and fix the baskets with knots.

We hang and see how it will look. You can adjust the distance between the baskets by weight, by the way, this is easier to do if you don’t tie knots, but make small wooden sticks, which can be threaded into a rope, although in this case it is better to use not an ordinary rope, but thin braided rope. In my opinion, it’s even better this way, the structure is stronger and you don’t have to guess with the nodes, and if necessary, you can move the baskets to the desired distance. Knots will need to be tied only under the bottom of the lowest basket.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's all, it remains only to plant flowers.
