Steem Women Club Contest #11 'RECYCLING' | TIME TO TRANSFORM | Potting plants on recycled containers!

in SteemWomen Club4 years ago

Recycling is the best way to reuse resources, no? We can get creative, don't have to expend much money into getting new stuff but can get things done. Recycle or upcycle, whatever you name it; there's no way to love it.

I came to know about this amazing contest of @steemwomensclub recently. So thought why don't I share my garden experiment! Because most of my plant pots are recycled and I don't mind using them this way.

Let me share how I do that!

What we need?

  • Used plastic pots or containers, clay pots, or anything available to you.

  • Scissors and knife to cut and make holes in the containers.

  • Paint to make it look good (optional)

For the first one, I used oatmeal containers to plant some nine o'clock flower plants. They are easy to grow and look good when they surround the whole pot like this.

Also, I use different plastic containers to pot my plants. The process is very simple. Just cut them and repot or plant your trees.

First I cut the plastic oil container into half using a scissor. Then I replace my plants inside it.

It's not like plant pots are high in prices. We all know how cheap they are. It's easy to throw away useless containers and pots. But choosing to replace them and making them into something useful means a lot to me. It gives a sense that somehow I'm helping to save the planet.

This is one portion of my balcony garden. You can see I used different clay made, ceramic, plastic pots. Usually, they are broken or came with food products. I used to paint them before but now I don't get enough time for that. But that's okay, I think. Because I gave them a new life, that's what matters most!

So, that's it for now. I would share some more about my recycling project next. See you around.

Have a wonderful day, everyone!
