Wheel Burrow Salad Bar

I find so many broken Wheel Burrows on the side of the road. They usually are only missing a wheel! Their trash becomes my treasure! Instant gardening containers! I place them throughout my large garden or on my back patio. I usually have one for summer herbs, flowers and for winter im doing a salad bar!



Here I have planted some Red Leaf Lettuce, Romaine and Baby Spinach! I have also placed Red Onion throughout the wheel burrow!




In a few weeks I should be able to harvest my first salad. The wheel burrow salad bar will be alot fuller with the bounty of lettuce.

Happy garden Recycling!

~Wheel Burrow Garden~

Im always on the look out for junk piles on the side of the road. You never know what you may find to use as a Garden container. Ive turned this wheel burrow with a missing wheel into a garden for Morning Glorys. Morning Glorys can be pretty invasive. Hopefully they will stay contained. Remeber when using differnt items make sure you drill holes in the bottom for drainage.
This is how it looked when I first sowed the seeds!




This a bout 5 weeks later! Starting to really take off and fill up the container.
A couple months later and it looks very pretty. You could add something like this to any area of your yard that needs a cute facelift. You can even turn it into an herb garden or a themed garden. I have another empty wheel burrow. I have just sown seeds of differnt lettuces. Once the Morning Glorys are finished, I will start some Kale and Swiss Chard.
Happy Recycling!
