Horizontal placement of bottles
A flowerbed to do a bit more complicated, but it looks very attractive and unusual.
For bed-the flowerpot necessarily needed basis: usually for these purposes, perfectly half barrel or even a folded stack of tires
The order of operations:
- This flowerbed flowerpot requires the basics. To do this, you can take an old metal barrel, cut in half – two beds. Fit even car tyres, folded stack. The size of the tank determines the parameters of the flowerbeds – this fact should be considered.
- Bottles clean, dry and ready to work, you need to add close to capacity.
- Prepare a solution of cement and sand in the ratio of 2:1. To them, we will cover capacity sequentially from bottom to top. The layer of mortar should be sufficient to ensure that it is well established bottleneck. Capacity not to plaster all at once, because the cement may harden before the bottles are immersed in it.
- Starting with the bottom row, without haste, but without delay, fix the bottle necks in the solution, which is applied to the container. It is important to put the very first coat, then he will support for the next. Laid in staggered bottle will create a spectacular setting beds.
- The work is simple, but should treat it responsibly. Let the solution grasp, otherwise it will have to start over again.
- The top layer of the bottles don’t look too carefully, because visible «wrong side» work on cement that surrounds the bottle necks. To hide this flaw better in that moment, when the inner part of the flower bed will be filled with soil. Necks in cement decorate with moss, stones, shells, or pinecones – will fit any material through which this part of the flower beds will not Shine through.
- In the bed of filler should be placed in layers. The bottom layer is a drainage, which will fit small pebbles, expanded clay, brick debris. Pour on top of fertile land. Better if the resulting pot will not be the bottom: the water will not stagnate in it and the roots of the planted plants will not sour. If the bottom is there, you just need to remember to do it a few holes.
The bed bottom is good for its mobility. If she gets bored in one place, it is always possible to move to another.
Look, this pot is a real work of art, but it is based on the old wheel and brown plastic bottle
The advantages of using plastic containers
Plastic fencing has many advantages, of which the first is undoubtedly its accessibility. Bottle we often just throw away, and then used in the case, and even with the mind. This elegant solution to the problem of trash like making flower beds plastic bottles deserves attention.

Other advantages of the use of plastic bottles include:
- Perennials planted in the flower bed, will not grow beyond it, and the roots of weeds do not overcome a plastic barrier. This fact will greatly facilitate the work to care for a flower bed.
- A kind of fence made of plastic will not dry up the ground.
- The fence consists of individual elements, each of which can be easily replaced in case of failure.
- Plastic packaging — a threat to the environment because it does not decompose naturally. This resistance of the container, applied as barriers, can be considered no longer a disadvantage, but dignity.
