Weekend Recycling BBQ Flower Project

Last week we cleared out the back of our garden and took the rubbish to the local household refuse site. However I decided to save our old rusty BBQ with pine under-shelf from a fate worse than the crusher and re-use it as a plant stand. My challenge was to hide the rust and add some colourful plants on a very small budget, so heres how I did it.

What you will need is:

  1. An old rusty BBQ,
  2. Some terra-cotta or plastic plant pots,
  3. Lots of stones from the garden (ours has more than its fair share!),
  4. Compost,
  5. Cheap Plants from the market or local garden centre i.e. violas, ivy, dianthus, herbs.
