Easy-to-make DIY garden planters

Several discarded items in your home would make the perfect planter.

There is simply no need to invest in fancy planters if you allow your creative side to take over. There are so many existing discarded items in your home that would lend themselves so easily to be used for this purpose. This would help you in two ways: you would find a unique planter for home and won’t be just another gardener using mass-produced boring planters. Second, you would be recycling so many used items in your home which would otherwise go directly to the trash chute.
