Raised tank garden bed - Arts, Crafts and DIY

Hello!

Raised tank garden bed

These garden beds are a perfect size for the little ones.

Material

1 old tank
1 pc old hose
old paint

Method

Find an old unloved tank.... get your dad or hubby to cut it in half, or thirds depending on what height you want.
Cut the hose and place it along the top.
The cut side of the tank can be sharp for little fingers and the hose offers great protection.
Paint it in your favourite colours or leave it with a rustic effect.
Fill with compost and dirt..Plant Plant Plant!

Notes

A piece of trellis or wire gives a great spot for peas or beans to climb.

These are a great idea. So much easier to play in the garden without having to bend, squat or kneel on the ground.

Great way to recycle an old tank. I have used old car and truck tyres in my chicken yard.

With spring starting I am so exited to start planting! These look like a fantastic easy way to plant some things without the rabbits munching through them so easily

Such a great idea, there may be old or disused tanks at a recycle place at the tip
