    Default Pretty Planters: Greening Your Home on a Budget

    You don't have to spend a fortune on gardening containers to green your backyard. Just about anything you can find in your attic or in the trash that you can poke a few holes in the bottom will do--even throwaways: a mini trash can, plastic soda bottles, tin coffee cans, an old boot, a wooden trunk, you name it.

    Good ideas.

    I have used a couple boots and also used to get nice sized waste baskets from the dollar stores for 'cold sensitive' bulbs.

    It is great fun finding things to plant in.........and being creative!
