Did your old washing machine go to the washing machine heaven? So don't forget to take the glass lid and stainless steel drum out of it. Both are perfect for the garden as pots.
The old stainless steel drum from the washing machine is perfect for planting with flowers. Unlike terracotta pots, staying outdoors or summer won't put him at risk. Even after two years in the garden, it still looks the same . All you have to do is flush it with water and it's like new. Just consider its location in the garden in advance. He's got a thorn in his ass that you stick in the ground. Plus, when you fill it with soil, it's very heavy. Anyone who has collected large stones in the garden can still decorate the drum.

Gradually plant individual plants.
1
The bottom of the drum is best drilled in two places to create drain holes. Then cover them with a shard of pot. but I didn't do it, and the plants are thriving perfectly. Place a two-centimeter layer of expanded clay or sand on the bottom. This will keep the water flowing and it won't freeze in winter. Place the substrate in half of the drum.
2
Carefully knock the plants out of the pot and plant them at the same depth as they were. When planting, respect the extent to which individual plants grow. To the center are the highest and to the edges lower or creeping. It depends on what you choose. Teed the soil to the brim.
3
Sprinkle the surface with a layer of mulch. It protects the roots from frosts, prevents higher evaporation of water and also does not release weeds . Ornamental kale won't survive the frosts, but it'll still look pretty until spring. On the contrary, the vipe and the touje can withstand everything.
Our tip
For spring planting is suitable pansies, daisies, hellerous, forest or viola garden.
