Barrels in the country are absolutely necessary, but they, unfortunately, become worthless. A wooden vessel can wear out to such an extent that it will not be subject to any restoration. In order not to burn such utensils, you can adapt it for completely different needs that are not related to its intended purpose.
In the photo we see version of a flower bed made from such an old barrel. To make it, you only need a saw and a hammer with nails. Still, of course, the old barrel itself and the fantasy of the gardener - the owner of the cottage. In different sections of the finished flowerbed, you can grow different flowers, perhaps those who do not like to adjoin each other under ordinary conditions.
