Homemade homemade tools for the garden and vegetable garden. Do-it-yourself garden tools: we make homemade tools for the garden according to the instructions. Such different flower beds

Working on the ground can really be easy and enjoyable if you use the right tools, and we will tell you how to make such devices for the garden with your own hands! Look at the inventions and tool improvements made FORUMHOUSE users, may they serve you faithfully too.

Flat cutter "Mower"

User www.site Antol13 invented and designed the “Mower” flat cutter (from the word “braid”). Previously, a forum member used a Fokin flat cutter to process potato rows, but then he decided to make his work easier: “it seems good, but it’s not that, and the quality of the metal, its thickness leaves much to be desired, and the prices are too high.”

For a new device that would penetrate more deeply into the soil, the forum member decided to use a scythe that was lying around unnecessarily and a cutting purchased in a store for 30 rubles. He spent 40 minutes making the flat cutter. The work does not require serious technical skills:

  1. Use a grinder to cut off the stiffening collar so that during operation the flat cutter does not experience resistance and does not cling to the ground. Optimal length flat cutter blades – 17 cm.
  2. Increase the angle of attack by bending it in a vice using a gas wrench. The angle of attack of the blade is 30-40 degrees.
  3. For better fixation in your hands on the handle of the flat cutter, make grooves on both sides with an electric planer.
  4. A stainless steel clamp at the top of the tenon will strengthen the fastener and prevent loosening.

The flat cutter performed excellently in its work. It also performs the functions of a scythe: it can be used to mow old burdocks, tartar, and other “grass vermin.”

Antol13

The manufactured flat cutter exceeded all expectations; I have never experienced such pleasure in work. Two working edges allow you to do the job quickly and with good quality without bending.

Beet seeder

viktor50 I planted beets by hand. The soil was slightly moist, and few beets sprouted, there were even gaps of 1-2 meters, although at the state farm where the seeds were taken, the sprouts were good. “Then it dawned on me that there was a seeder there, it was sowing seeds and rolling them down. Without rolling, seeds seem to hang in the soil, have poor contact with moisture, and if the soil is slightly dry, you may not be able to wait for germination.” On next year in just half a day, a forum member made a semblance of an industrial seeder in just half a day. The seeds germinated close to 100%.

By design, the handle is located in front of the seeder (the seeder is pulled by one person). At the state farm yard, gears with a diameter of approximately 200 mm and a width of 20-30 mm were collected. They were welded together to create a roller with a diameter like gears, a width of 15 cm and a weight of 5-7 kg. A piece of pipe with a diameter of approximately 3/4 at the bottom is slightly bent along the direction of the seeder, cut along the rear wall by 5 cm and the pipe is turned out (it turns out like a hollow nose of a cultivator). This pipe is attached to the handle first, then there is a device that rakes the furrow. Behind this hiller there is a welded gear wheel; it compacts the planting. IN top part A two-liter plastic bottle with a cut bottom is inserted into the pipe: the person who follows the seeder throws beet seeds into it.

viktor50

That's the whole device, as simple as three kopecks. There are no turned parts, everything is done on the knee. If there is welding, then there are no problems with assembly at all. We have been using this seeder for about 20 seasons.

zayka2 makes things like this manual seeders, copied from “Vinnichanka” with a brush sowing device. He slightly improved the design: he installed removable drive sprockets and modernized the marker - he installed a control handle so as not to bend over to throw it to the other side. With such seeders you can sow almost any seeds: carrots, nigella onions, beets, beans, peas, corn.

Universal garden wheelbarrow

Forum member unkas This year I had to start filling up holes on my site. There were two-wheeled carts available, the track of which turned out to be too wide in some places. The neighbors didn't like the garden wheelbarrows unkasу for various reasons.

The forum member bought a polyurethane wheel that does not need to be inflated (a similar wheel, but not made of polyurethane, but made of rubber, is cheaper), 2 corners, an axle made of a bolt with a nut and a block of 40 * 40 * 3 m. He had plywood and the rest.

unkas

Wheelbarrow building is an exact science. If you do everything by eye, it turns out a little crooked.

Home water tower

Jacomo Venciano builds a water tower to water the garden.

It looks like this: a small round foundation with three concrete rings two-meter diameter, placed on a solution. On top there is a concrete cover with a hatch. The expert calculated the strength of the tower rings (the weight of the rings plus the water pressure). It turned out that there is a threefold reserve even for the weakest concrete, but provided that the concrete is not saturated with water. That is, waterproofing is important both inside and outside (from rain). For external waterproofing, the forum member decided to make a conical roof with an overhang.

Stairs are installed inside and outside the tower. The seams between the rings are carefully puttied, the transportation holes are sealed. Everything outside is painted green, inside there is waterproofing on the walls and foundation and a layer of plastic like acrylic.

At the bottom there is a drain and watering fitting. At the top there is a filling fitting. From the drain fitting through the tee to external wall a transparent hose-level gauge is hung.

Jacomo Venciano

I will connect a float valve from the toilet tank with a pre-coarse filter to the filling fitting inside. I will pour from summer water supply pressure 1 atm. hut

In winter the tower will be empty, and in summer the water in it will warm up to average daily temperature, degrees up to 15. In the tower it will be possible to dilute fertilizers to feed the garden, mixing them with a drainage pump.

The forum member will not bury the container: the only advantage of a buried container is that the water in it does not freeze in winter. But why do we need irrigation water in winter?

Apple picking tool

Acordic I made a simple but functional garden device that can be used to pick apples and plums. Before that, she tried several options for fruit pickers from the store at her dacha, but then they all turned out to be abandoned and gathering dust without use. It turned out that there is nothing better than a three-meter aluminum pole and a plastic bottle. The forum member often uses this device because of its lightness and convenience.

Acordic

And we can’t live without him anymore. It's convenient and doesn't require a ladder.

Screw planting of seeds

Denforever came up with a device for planting seeds that allows you to avoid making holes and subsequently thinning out the seedlings. The device is made in several versions: length 3 cm, 5 cm and 2 cm. In the future, a handle will be adapted to the device. In the photo we see that the screws are not screwed in - this is for convenient transportation to the dacha. Then they will need to be screwed in.

Miracle shovel

Serdsvetlana absolutely delighted with the “miracle shovel”, which is easy to make yourself. The ease with which the garden is dug up, the soil is loosened and the potatoes are dug up is surprising.

The peculiarity of tilling the soil with a miracle shovel: the garden is dug not across, but along. We take the miracle shovel by the edges top bar With both outstretched arms, we step on the platform (footboard) and it easily enters the ground. With a slight movement (can be combined with light shaking), stepping back two steps, we move the shovel from a vertical position to an almost horizontal one. After this, we take a step forward, pull the shovel back 30 cm, give it a vertical position, drive it into the ground and repeat the cycles until the row ends. Then we proceed to process the next row.

Materials: half-inch pipe, round timber (or hexagon) with a diameter of 15 mm.

For ease of transportation, a collapsible design can be made.

Landscaping your dacha will not be a problem or an expensive investment if you show a little ingenuity. It’s not difficult to create homemade products with your own hands – you will need time, simple tools and equipment. You can use leftover building materials, unnecessary boards, car tires, and cut down trees.

What materials are used

Any summer resident will not refuse the stylish decor of the site. Many companies offer original things. However, handmade crafts will help add originality to the site.

Materials most often used in work:

When decorating a dacha, there is no need to restrain your imagination - bold combinations of materials and non-standard use of unnecessary things are welcome.

It is not necessary to observe proportions or natural color combinations. The giraffe may have purple spots, and the train may be small in size.

Original decor for the recreation area

Many city residents buy suburban areas for a relaxing holiday. It's nice to take a break from everyday life on the weekend and feel connected to nature. The design of a relaxation corner deserves attention; it is advisable to fence it off from the agricultural work area. Fashionable solution - construction small gazebos from the remains of boards. You will also need pillars and beams for supports and cross beams.

Sequence of work:

  1. In the corners of the site, holes are dug 50-60 cm deep, into which beams are inserted and fixed with mortar.
  2. The support beams are secured to the upper ends of the beams using self-tapping screws.
  3. Cross boards are secured to support beams. On the beams, the boards are fixed horizontally, leaving gaps 5-7 cm wide.

A neat trimmed lawn or a platform paved with stone – any options are suitable for decorating the site. To revive the structure, flowerpots with flowers are installed near the site or planted nearby climbing plants.

How to beautifully design flower beds

Fragrant flower beds - best decor recreation areas.

It’s easy to make a non-standard flowerbed fencing from available materials:

  1. If there is a small amount of brick left, you can lay out a flower bed of any geometric shape in several rows. The solution will help secure the structure and give it strength. Flower beds made of natural stone also look natural.
  2. Car tires have long been a popular material in dachas. To give the flower garden a well-groomed look, it is advisable to paint the tires with bright paint and lay them out in several layers, forming flowerpots or laying them out around the area in curved form, forming circles, ovals.

A couple of plastic or wooden flowerpots will help give an old bicycle a custom look. The transformation is done quickly: the bicycle is painted with bright paint, flowerpots are fixed above the front and rear wheels. Climbing plants, whose branches will skillfully camouflage the metal structures, will give the structure a picturesque appearance.

An old bathtub won't look like trash at all if you transform it in a non-standard way. Of course, the simplest option is to use a colorfully painted container as a reservoir.

However, meticulous and not lazy summer residents will transform the bathtub into cozy furniture for relaxation. For a wonderful transformation, you need to cut out part of the side wall with a grinder and carefully sand the sections. Comfortable sofas are ennobled: painted in the desired shade, decorated with soft mattresses and headrests.

Improvised flower garden in the form garden watering can, installed next to the sofa, will create a real relaxation zone.

Stylish design of garden paths

Rusted or old metal tanks wooden barrels can be turned into original flower beds or even original beds that will successfully complement garden paths.

Stages of work:


Barrels, tubs, thick logs can be called the most pleasant material for work. It’s great that objects can be placed not only vertically, but also horizontally, sawed in half or built into multi-tiered structures.

The products do not require special decoration - the colorful wooden texture will serve as the best decoration.

DIY figurative compositions

It is quite understandable that every summer resident wants to give the site a unique look. In order not to spend money on the services of designers, you can create fun crafts with your own hands from scrap materials. Unnecessary gardening tools, broken metal products, household containers, cobblestones and stones different sizes- V progress is underway All.

How to make metal decor

Unique figures assembled from old shovels and broken rakes and hoes will become creative decorations for paths and lawns. It’s not difficult to create expressive images – the main thing is not to limit your imagination. To assemble a snail figurine you will need literally a narrow sheet of metal and a can of canned food. Black paint will give the figure a laconic look and make it very noticeable against the background of a green lawn.

The original solution is to combine different materials when creating figures. The union of stone and metal looks elegant and natural. The cat, assembled from rounded cobblestones of different sizes and metal elements. The stone pet is placed comfortably on a large stone to bask in the sun.

Flowers collected from metal tablespoons will become a brilliant decoration of the flowerbed. An impromptu flower garden will delight summer residents at any time of the year - rainy autumn and snowy winter. An umbrella made from metal tubes will give the flowerbed a flirty and airy look. It is not difficult to weld the structure at home. To plant flowers, first make a frame from plywood or thick film.

Original DIY crafts made from wood

Wood products always bring coziness to the decor garden plot. A wooden composition in the form of large porcini mushrooms will fit perfectly into landscape design plot. However, you can give the fungus a playful look by using a stump that has not been uprooted. It’s easy to create a funny grimace on wood using a chisel. And the hat can be made from thick saw cuts.

Decorative compositions assembled from wooden cuts or logs become real works of art. Animal figurines made from old branches, sticks and several logs look playful. A more practical solution is to arrange flower beds from small logs.

Create a small flower garden in several stages:

  1. The log is sawn into several equal parts, and thin wooden branches are cut separately to decorate the wheels.
  2. Each element is removed inner part and separately, an improvised cabin of a train is made from small boards.
  3. Wheels are attached to the logs and the composition is laid on the site in the form of a train.

To make it easier to care for flowers, plants are planted in separate pots, which are simply placed in recesses.

Functional homemade products assembled with your own hands deserve special attention - country furniture assembled from scrap materials. The easiest way to make objects is from cut down thick wood. It is enough to make a table from the base of the trunk, and less thick logs will be used to create chairs. A small bench is assembled from individual branches and boards. It is not recommended to paint such furniture with colored paints - the natural texture of wood, coated with a colorless water-repellent varnish, looks more elegant.

A popular option for crafts is animal figurines collected from tree cuts. You can put together a composition from a couple of owls located on a stump. The stage of assembling homemade products made with your own hands takes a little time: from large cuts they make bodies, on which round eyes and wings are attached.

Do-it-yourself crafts for a country children's corner

Any tree - best option for decorating a children's playground at the dacha. Various materials will be useful in the work: logs, hemp, boards. Creating crafts for the garden with your own hands is a fun activity in which all family members can take part. Simple forms, minimum details, bright colors– such figures look elegant and fun.

Easy to assemble figures from different materials. As an option - a set of wooden poles, car tires.

It’s easy to build a figurine near the playground:

  1. The tire is dug halfway into the ground.
  2. A pillar 8-10 cm thick is dug in front of the tire.
  3. An improvised muzzle made from a small log is attached to the top of the log. The details of the figurine (tail, ears, eyes) are cut out from plastic bottles.
  4. You can color the figurine to match any animal.

In order for a child to have fun spending time on the site, it is advisable to create not only decorative crafts, but gaming.

As an option, install plywood animal figures. Holes are made in the canvas different widths, through which you can throw balls.

The solution is to design trains from small logs of the same size. To build the structure, you will need logs, paint, and tools.

Main stages of work:

  1. In base logs ( even number) holes are made of the same size.
  2. The bases are laid out on the ground at equal intervals and painted with one color.
  3. Log “cars” painted with multi-colored bright paints are placed perpendicularly on the bases.
  4. To highlight the “locomotive”, a pipe and a small “cabin” block are attached to the log.

Flowerbeds decorated in small metal barrels, will add brightness to the playground. Kids will love taking care of the flowers themselves, planted in colorful flowerpots.

Amazing crafts at the dacha are a great chance to give products a “second life” and decorate the area in an original way. With a little time and diligence, you can add functionality to modern, laconic decor, or simply decorate the area with figurines of your favorite cartoon characters.

Video about original crafts at the dacha

It's no secret that today almost any gardening products are not cheap in stores. So, for example, purchasing various accessories will cost, as they say, “a pretty penny.” And if you make them “from scratch”, then you will spend no less, because starting materials you still have to buy it.

So why not save money and organize homemade projects for the garden with your own hands from what you usually have on hand or is inexpensive? Moreover, everything can be done really beautifully and neatly. And in addition it is also functional.

In this article we will look at the most useful homemade products with your own hands for the cottage and garden, which are distinguished by their simplicity and originality.

Beautiful “useful things” for the garden

One thing worth noting important point- you need to understand that only a small part of the list of crafts that can be made will be sorted out. It’s just that these options are like a start, a “push” for imagination.

After all, here it is important to understand the very principle of how simple it is to organize everything, and then everything depends only on your imagination. So, let's begin the review.

Pond from an old bathtub

If you make a small reservoir of this type on your site, it will perform several functions at the same time - we’ll take a look at them in the table below.

Agree, the task is worth implementing. Moreover, for this you only need old bath, which in most cases is available on the site.

The pond is made according to this scheme:

  1. We dig a hole with our own hands in the right place, which in its parameters should be slightly larger than the dimensions of the bathtub.

Advice: be as responsible as possible when choosing a location.
It is not advisable to place a pond too close to dining table, For example.
The fact is that they can periodically fly to the water various midges, bees, etc.
And brushing away insects during lunch is not very pleasant, as you understand.

  1. We lay several boards at the bottom of the hole– the bathtub will stand on them.
  2. We insert the bathtub into the hole and level it. We close its drain hole with a plug. In this case, it is advisable to treat the outer edges of the cork with silicone to prevent water leakage from the container in the future.

  1. We fill all the free space between the metal and the soil with earth.

Well, then all that remains is to decorate the structure. To do this, you can spread it around the perimeter beautiful stones or, for example, plant flowers. In addition, you can create an edging from boards or any wooden sheets, panels that are more or less resistant to moisture.

As for filling the container, you can use both water from the central water supply and natural flows. For example, you can bring the edge of the gutter of the house's drainage system to the bathtub and the pond will be filled with rainwater.

In principle, such homemade products for the garden can be slightly adjusted - use any tank, barrel, etc. instead of a bathtub.

Now let's look at another very convenient craft.

Pallet bench

Surely at some point you will want to sit in the garden - near an artificial pond, for example. And then you will need one like this useful design like a bench.

Purchasing a new product is expensive. It is much easier to make a bench from a pallet - if it is not available, then, as a rule, a considerable amount of it is thrown away near large warehouses and factories.

The bench is made quickly.

  1. Make a cross cut on one side of the pallet to the left of the reinforcement bars.

  1. On the other side, perform exactly the same operation, only on the other side of the bars.

  1. We divide the product into two parts.

  1. We insert blocks of bars between the boards, as shown in the figure below. We get the back and seat.

  1. We fasten the wood with self-tapping screws at all connecting points.

  1. We place the remaining wooden elements under the seat and use them to adjust the height.

As you can see, everything is quite simple. Now you can paint the bench and install other homemade items for the garden and dacha.

Now let's look at a very functional, original and cheap craft.

A hanger is a very necessary element. After all, you can hang not only clothes on it, but also a considerable part of various garden tools.

Of course, the “primitive” version of this design is ordinary nails or self-tapping screws. However, it looks rather unattractive, and besides, the nails tend to gradually loosen inside the holes into which they are driven.

And loosening means that such “hooks” will periodically fall to the ground. We offer a more original and reliable solution– make a hanger from an old rake.

You only need their metal part, without wooden handle. Even if such an element is not available in barns, purchasing it at the nearest market is not a problem. The price of the rake is acceptable for everyone.

The hanger is mounted like this:

  1. We tie the wire to the two edges of the line on which the teeth are attached. In this case, there should be only one piece of wire. That is, it turns out that the fastener, in fact, resembles how paintings or mirrors are hung on a string.
  2. We drive a large nail into the wall or any desired place and hang a rake on it.

The hanger is ready - you can hang anything you like on the rake teeth: shovels, caps, etc.

Now let's use old shoes, of which there are usually a lot at the dacha.

Flower pots made from shoes

The ideal option is to have rubber boots, but in principle ordinary leather shoes will do.

From such shoes you can make non-standard flower pots, which will fit perfectly into the style of almost any garden.

The workflow here is like this:

  1. We nail or screw the boots to the fence or any other suitable plane.
  2. We fill each boot with soil.
  3. We make several holes in the soles - they are needed to let out excess water.
  4. Plant flowers in pots and enjoy appearance inventions.

Pay attention!
Any DIY garden crafts can be “improved” ad infinitum.
The main thing in this matter is to correctly organize the “basic” thought, idea.
And you can decorate the invention with anything and however your heart desires - there are no restrictions.

Remember this simple rule when planning “benefits” for your garden or vegetable garden.

This concludes our review of useful and original crafts for a garden plot and summarize the article.

Conclusion

As you can see, gardener’s homemade products are quite simple, and they can be made from almost anything. We hope that this article will become a catalyst for your ideas and you will be able to decorate your area beautifully. Well, if you want more information on this topic, we recommend watching the video in this article.















Do-it-yourself homemade products for the garden and garden not only perfectly complement personal plot, but will also help you save a decent amount of money. Today there are many useful devices for the garden that simplify daily life. Usually gathers at the dacha large number unnecessary things and materials that people do not use in their apartments. it takes up a lot of space. Any summer resident has the opportunity, using his imagination, to make simple homemade items.

Garden tools

When visiting hardware stores, many buyers note that the quality of garden tools does not correspond to their cost. Even an expensive and high-quality shovel is very easy to damage. One option is to personally make some kind of country tool that can perfectly replace a regular bayonet shovel. for example, a garden digger, which is not only very easy to make, but also easy to use. If we compare an ordinary shovel and this country tool, it can be noted that it is much easier for the second to dig the ground, and it does not place heavy loads on the human spine.

Homemade digger

To make a digger for the garden with your own hands, you need those items that often lie and gather dust in the country. You need to have:

  • metal sheet 2 mm thick;
  • metal pipe 0.5 inches in diameter;
  • 2 bolts and 2 nuts;
  • 2 engraver washers for the bolts and 2 hours of free time.

You need to cut the metal sheet into 7 pieces, similar to stakes. That is, you should get a stake that is wide on one side and tapering to the other. Then, take a pipe 43 cm long and measure 5 mm from the edge. The following marks are made every 6 cm. Another 5 mm should remain on the other edge of the pipe, which should also be marked. Using grinding disc on a grinder, you need to make cuts in the marked places to the middle of the pipe.

The cut stakes are taken (they will act as legs), inserted into the grooves cut in the pipe and secured by welding. The remaining pipes are then welded into a U-shaped handle and bolted to the workpiece. That's all, the digger is ready to use.

Garden decoration

Don't forget about the opportunity to become a designer own garden at the dacha. After all, you can make not only country tools, but also much more. And to add some zest country house, you can post a beautiful and original garden path made of stone. Such a path will not only delight its owners, but will also become the latest trend, very popular among summer residents. For a stone path you will need:

  • stone used to lay out the path;
  • sand;
  • gravel and board 25-30 mm thick.

Work should begin with a preliminary measurement of the distance of the future path. To do this, four pegs are driven in and connected in pairs with a guide rope. Afterwards, it is necessary to remove the top layer of soil, or in other words, dig a trench. When working with a shovel, one should not forget about the level of the trench, since it is better to make it even in depth. This will help not only to use correctly and economically building materials, but will also simplify subsequent work. You need to install boards along the edges of the trench; they will act as sides into which sand and stones are placed.

First of all, gravel should be poured into the bottom of the hole. It will not only perform a shock-absorbing function, but will also provide indispensable assistance with drainage groundwater. Next, the gravel is covered with sand, which should be moistened in advance - this way it will lie more tightly. It is best to make a sand cushion with a thickness of 10 cm, and then you need to level the surface of the embankment with a board. Only after this can stone or paving stones be laid. It is necessary to calculate the thickness of the future path in advance so that you do not have to cut the stone again.

Mosquito traps

The invention fights not mosquitoes, but their larvae. It is suspended from tree branches. Mosquitoes lay their offspring in this device, which prevents the newly born mosquitoes from leaving it. For more effective fight with bloodsuckers you should make as many of these traps as possible. But even the use of this gadget cannot provide 100% protection from mosquito bites.

One of the most simple ways- This is to use an ordinary plastic bottle as a trap. You need to cut off the upper part with the neck and insert it into the lower part so that the neck does not touch the bottom. Next, you should prepare a special solution that will attract mosquitoes. To do this you will need 15 g of yeast, 45 g of sugar and warm water. All 3 components need to be mixed and the resulting solution poured into the trap. Then, the bottle must be darkened. To do this, you can use a dark cloth or thick paper. This trap can attract not only mosquitoes, but also cockroaches. Therefore, the owners of a house in the village have the opportunity to use it in their living space.

These were just 3 of the most interesting and easily made devices for the garden and garden. Do not forget that a person can create something more useful and unique from available materials, you just need to give freedom to your imagination.

Many gardeners have recently given preference to flower beds located in boxes. They are raised above ground level and fenced on all sides. This makes the maintenance process easier, and the garden bed looks more attractive and interesting. It is possible (or even recommended) to use such designs on meager nutrients soils.

Homemade products for the garden involve the use of scrap materials. Therefore, to construct the box, you can use boards left over, for example, from building a house. If you don't have them, you'll have to purchase them at the store. A box of arbitrary dimensions is constructed from them. The dimensions will depend on the size of the plot, its style and the plant that is planned to be planted there. The height of the side is made approximately to the knee, so that the layer of fertile soil is thicker.

It is fixed to the bottom of the manufactured box metal mesh with a small cell. It will provide protection against the penetration of rodents and moles. If there are none on the site, then you can do without a grid. You can easily make a small greenhouse from a box bed. Its height is selected taking into account the plants planted there.

Drip irrigation

Homemade products for the garden will simplify such a difficult process as watering plants. You can make a drip irrigation system. To do this, you will need a large barrel (metal or plastic), a hose, capillaries (you can make holes in the hose at a certain interval) and various connections (tees, clamps, etc.).

The barrel is raised approximately 1.5-2 m from the ground. To do this from metal corners You can weld a special stand. Thanks to this, there will be stable pressure in the system. A main hose comes from the barrel. A filter must be installed on it so that debris does not clog the system. The capillaries are fed from the main hose.

For example, from old plastic bottles that are always thrown away, you can make a sprinkler for your garden. It will allow you to process and water plants of different heights. A sprayer is attached to the watering hose. The same spray nozzle is screwed onto a long stick (the longer the better). The lever is secured with a thread while pressed.

In a 1.5 liter bottle, a hole is made in the neck with a hot nail. A bolt is inserted into the hole and secured with a nut on the outside. The bolt must be drilled through with a drill. A hose is put on it and secured with a clamp. After applying pressure to the system, the nozzle spins and water is sprayed.

Tire compost bin

Old tires from passenger cars are one of the most popular and available materials for making homemade items for the garden. You can even make them compost pit. You only need 4 of them.

One of the tires, which will serve as a base, is cut. One side panel is cut off from it. From the rest, two sidewalls are cut off to form rings. Next, you just need to install the tires on top of each other in the designated area.

DIY crafts for the garden and vegetable garden (39 photos). Pond from an old bathtub. Pallet bench. Rake hanger. Flower pots made from shoes

It's no secret that today almost any gardening products are not cheap in stores. So, for example, purchasing various accessories will cost, as they say, “a pretty penny.” And if you make them from scratch, you will spend no less, because you still have to buy the raw materials.

So why not save money and organize homemade projects for the garden with your own hands from what you usually have on hand or is inexpensive? Moreover, everything can be done really beautifully and neatly. And in addition it is also functional.


Crafts on the site

In this article we will look at the most useful do-it-yourself crafts for the cottage and garden, which are distinguished by their simplicity and originality.

Beautiful “useful things” for the garden

It is worth noting one important point - you need to understand that only a small part of the list of crafts that can be made will be sorted out. It’s just that these options are like a start, a “push” for imagination.

After all, here it is important to understand the very principle of how simple it is to organize everything, and then everything depends only on your imagination. So, let's begin the review.

Pond from an old bathtub


Pond from the bath

If you make a small reservoir of this type on your site, it will perform several functions at the same time - we’ll take a look at them in the table below.

Agree, the task is worth implementing. Moreover, for this you only need an old bathtub, which in most cases is available on the site.

The pond is made according to this scheme:

  1. We dig a hole with our own hands in the right place, which, according to its parameters, should be slightly larger than the dimensions of the bathtub.

Advice: be as responsible as possible when choosing a location. It is not advisable to place a pond too close to the dining table, for example. The fact is that various midges, bees, etc. may periodically flock to the water.

And brushing away insects during lunch is not very pleasant, as you understand.

  1. We lay several boards at the bottom of the hole - the bathtub will stand on them.
  2. We insert the bathtub into the hole and level it. We close its drain hole with a plug. In this case, it is advisable to treat the outer edges of the cork with silicone to prevent water leakage from the container in the future.

Leveling the bathtub

  1. We fill all the free space between the metal and the soil with earth.

Well, then all that remains is to decorate the structure. To do this, you can lay out beautiful stones around the perimeter of the pond in the garden plot or, for example, plant flowers. In addition, you can create an edging from boards or any wooden sheets or panels that are more or less resistant to moisture.


An example of board edging

As for filling the container, you can use both water from the central water supply and natural flows. For example, you can bring the edge of the gutter of the house's drainage system to the bathtub and the pond will be filled with rainwater.

In principle, such homemade products for the garden can be slightly adjusted - use any tank, barrel, etc. instead of a bathtub.

Now let's look at another very convenient craft.

Pallet bench

Surely at some point you will want to sit in the garden - near an artificial pond, for example. And here you will need such a useful structure as a bench.

Purchasing a new product is expensive. It is much easier to make a bench from a pallet - if it is not available, then, as a rule, a considerable amount of it is thrown away near large warehouses and factories.

The bench is made quickly.

  1. Make a cross cut on one side of the pallet to the left of the reinforcement bars.

  1. On the other side, perform exactly the same operation, only on the other side of the bars.

Cut line on the other side of the pallet

  1. We divide the product into two parts.

Dividing the pallet into two halves

  1. We insert blocks of bars between the boards, as shown in the figure below. We get the back and seat.

The principle of connecting halves

  1. We fasten the wood with self-tapping screws at all connecting points.

As you can see, everything is quite simple. Now you can paint the bench and install other homemade items for the garden and dacha.

Now let's look at a very functional, original and cheap craft.

Rake hanger

A hanger is a very necessary element. After all, you can hang not only clothes on it, but also a considerable part of various garden tools.

Of course, the “primitive” version of this design is ordinary nails or self-tapping screws. However, it looks rather unattractive, and besides, the nails tend to gradually loosen inside the holes into which they are driven.

And loosening means that such “hooks” will periodically fall to the ground. We offer a more original and reliable solution - to make a hanger from an old rake.

Rake hanger

You only need the metal part, without the wooden handle. Even if such an element is not available in barns, purchasing it at the nearest market is not a problem. The price of the rake is acceptable for everyone.

The hanger is mounted like this:

  1. We tie the wire to the two edges of the line on which the teeth are attached. In this case, there should be only one piece of wire. That is, it turns out that the fastener, in fact, resembles how paintings or mirrors are hung on a string.
  2. We drive a large nail into the wall or any desired place and hang a rake on it.

The hanger is ready - you can hang anything you like on the rake teeth: shovels, caps, etc.

Now let's use old shoes, of which there are usually a lot at the dacha.

Flower pots made from shoes

The ideal option is to have rubber boots, but in principle, regular leather shoes are also suitable.


Shoe pots

From such shoes you can make custom flower pots that will fit perfectly into the style of almost any garden.

The workflow here is like this:

  1. We nail or screw the boots to the fence or any other suitable plane.
  2. We fill each boot with soil.
  3. We make several holes in the soles - they are needed to let out excess water.
  4. We plant flowers in pots and enjoy the appearance of the invention.

Pay attention! Any DIY garden crafts can be “improved” ad infinitum. The main thing in this matter is to correctly organize the “basic” thought, idea.

And you can decorate the invention with anything and however your heart desires - there are no restrictions.

Remember this simple rule when planning “benefits” for your garden or vegetable garden.

This concludes our review of useful and original crafts for the garden plot and sums up the article.

Conclusion

As you can see, gardener’s homemade products are quite simple, and they can be made from almost anything. We hope that this article will become a catalyst for your ideas and you will be able to decorate your area beautifully. Well, if you want more information on this topic, we recommend watching the video in this article.

Everything related to cottages, gardens, vegetable gardens and country houses. Tips on growing plants, making garden tools, homestead construction, etc., etc.

Local area

With the arrival of spring, life in the cities comes to a standstill on weekends, because a lot of people head towards their second home - to the dacha, where there is always something to devote time to. You can work on the beds, or sit in the sun, but some ingenious summer residents prefer another, useful, pastime - they invent a variety of miracle things - homemade products for the dacha and garden with their own hands, which can save money and significantly ease the difficult life of a dacha.

The dacha is a storehouse of necessary material

The dacha plot is a kind of Mecca, where heaps of old, but still strong things flock, which one still doesn’t dare throw away. Among the accumulated “wealth” you can most often find items old furniture, clothes and shoes, dishes and a lot of different “junk”. But there are also those products that are not so lucky; they end their lives in trash cans. This applies to plastic bottles, car tires, various materials, remaining unclaimed after repairs.

Craftsmen do not waste scrap materials like that, because they know how to find a use for each of them, and therefore breathe a second life. Moreover, from under their hands come not only cute decorations for summer cottage, but also things that are capable of having practical significance. We'll talk about them first.

Practicality is paramount

With the help of “very skillful hands”, unnecessary things can be turned into objects that are difficult to do without in a country house.

A car ramp turned into an ottoman

This work is quite simple, and you don’t need a lot of materials for it. In addition to the ramp, you need two pieces of plywood, some thick clothing, or a thick rope. 2 circles are cut out of plywood, their diameter should be 4 cm less than the diameter of the slope. They are attached from the bottom and top with self-tapping screws. If a thick fabric is chosen for the manufacture of the ottoman, then it is necessary to add foam rubber to the list, from which a circle is cut out for the future seat of the same dimensions. The clothes are first ripped out, then a cover is sewn from it. If a rope or rope is used, then the ramp is glued around the slope with them.

Plastic bottles that save crops from drought

Suitable for those summer residents who do not have the opportunity to visit their dacha often. It is necessary to take large bottles, preferably five-liter ones. You need to make 2 rows of holes in them in increments of 2-3 cm, and then dig each one at an equal distance from 4 bushes so that the holes are at the level of the roots. Then you need to pour water and close the bottles with lids.

What do they prefer to “neat people”? beautiful beds, you will like their design with these bottles. Bottles can be used to make your garden beds look more fun. different colors. For strength, sand should be poured halfway into each container. After digging the trench, simply reinforce the bottles with their bottoms up, then cover with soil. If this option does not suit you, you can paint the fence with water-based paint.

A bathtub turned into a flower garden or pond

Making a flower garden out of a bathtub is not at all difficult. Expanded clay or broken bricks are suitable for drainage; you need to pour the substrate on top and plant the plants. The outside of such a “flowerbed” can be painted with cheerful paint, or covered with colored glass.

Arranging a mini-pond from a bathtub is pretty simple task, the main thing is to dig a hole, place it there, dig slate around the perimeter, rising 20 cm from the surface of the earth. Attach the cut hose to its edges, and then cover the entire structure with polyethylene and fill with water. The perimeter is decorated with stones, and the pond itself can be populated with aquatic plants.

Wood: swings and furniture for every taste

Both kids and adults love the swing. If somewhere on your site is “boring” old chair, then turn it into a swing by sawing off the legs. After this, all that remains is to paint the product and secure it to the branch using ropes. If you like to tinker with wood, you can make a new swing from wood left over from construction.

Wonderful furniture comes from ordinary ones wooden pallets. To give it the necessary mobility, it is worth purchasing furniture wheels for such a “set”. Hemp and poles can be an excellent material for making original country furniture, and a flight of fantasy sometimes helps to create real masterpieces.

Don't part with metal!

If old non-working metal units have found a home at the dacha, then making useful things out of them will not be difficult. Tank washing machine will successfully replace a barbecue: for this you only need a grinder and a few legs, the role of which can be assigned to the pins. If you need to make a smokehouse, then it will be enough to attach a mesh to a barrel or bucket.

But most often metal is used for the frame of greenhouses and greenhouses. This type of work is extremely popular. You can make such a “skeleton” using welding machine, or without it - install pipes or profiles using bolts or self-tapping screws. If the electrical network for welding is weak, then the easiest way would be to rent a diesel generator.

DIY crafts for the garden and garden with your own hands: decoration

The original solutions decorating the site are incredibly diverse. For example, plastic bottles make wonderful gazebos, nice fences and simply unique products.

Building an uninhabited island from plastic bottles

A mandatory attribute of a dacha for large family is a sandbox, and in order for the little robbers not to get bored, they need their own “treasure island”, so they can’t do without palm trees. Yes, and they are made from such versatile plastic bottles. The trunks are made of metal rods, the length depends only on the height of the planned “tree”. You can install them in the corners of the sandbox, or in the middle.

Then the base is covered with stones and filled with concrete. The bottom of the bottles must be cut off and placed on the rods. If there is a possibility that “pirates” might test the barrel for strength, it is better to additionally glue its components together.

For the crown of the tree, green bottles are taken, and each palm tree will require 6 pieces of rigid wire. The bottom of the bottles is cut off, then they are cut lengthwise, but it is necessary to leave a distance of 2 cm at the neck. These “branches” are placed on a wire that is attached to the trunk.

Plastic bottle caps: the choice of the patient

Such decoration of the house will lead to the fact that all passers-by, without exception, will marvel at it. But you will need a lot of lids and labor. They are attached in different ways: they are nailed to a wooden building with thin nails, you can use glue, others make 4 side perpendicular holes in the lids to stretch two wires. The good thing about this labor-intensive process is that the patterns can be changed if the soul requires changes.

Do-it-yourself homemade products for the garden and garden with your own hands is too huge a topic, so we only touched on a fraction of the methods and materials: it seems that our Russian craftsmen have adapted all the things in the world for this. Therefore, you can invent something of your own, because the main thing in this matter is inspiration and imagination.
