Do-it-yourself Gardening Ideas

By now, you've probably seen gardening ideas on T.V. that utilize upside down planters to grow vegetables. You can create the DIY version by using milk jugs or two liter bottles. Cut the bottom off the bottle, drill holes in it to let water through and insert it upside down into the bottle. Drill holes on opposing sides of the bottle that pierce the reservoir where you will insert a small dowel for hanging. Carefully push the roots of the plant through the bottle's opening and add soil. Insert the reservoir and dowel before hanging with twine in a sunny spot. As far as gardening ideas to, this one's a keeper. Quick and expensive gardening ideas like this make your home cozier than ever.Other great DIY gardening ideas involve starting plants from seeds. As gardening ideas go, this one's cheaper than buying plants from a nursery. A citrus peel cut in half and filled with soil and seeds is the easiest version. Alternatively, use an egg carton, and cleaned egg shells, if you like. When the seedlings are mature, plant them in the ground with peel, shell and all.
