Bottle Bed Update
After ignoring this project for a few weeks, I went back to work on our glass bottle planting bed. The back section was created using wine/liquor bottles. We'll plant succulents in the back... there are already a few agaves and prickly pears.
The front section will be an herb garden and was built using mexican coke bottles (which beats american coke by a landslide)...
Turned out alright... It's a bit hippie, but not too much. Pictures below...
Front Planting Bed
Well, we're basically complete w/ the front entry way. Though, I'm sure we'll add many more plants in the weeks to come... Before and after photos below:
Progress on Entry Way
I know that doesn't look like alot of progress since my last post... but believe me, this was a ton of work. Mostly, it was difficult because I don't know what I'm doing re: gardening/landscaping. Getting those damned pavers even was a pain.
Originally, we'd planned on buying air conditioner pads to serve as pavers. They're cheaper and bigger. But we struck out when trying to find them... so I went with these regular ole' pavers. Turned out pretty nice though.
Next step is to install a border and start planting beyond the entry way. Hey yo!
Entry Way and Planting Bed
I started the process of re-doing our front entry way and planting bed today. We purchased the house a year ago and have been planning to streamline the landscaping in the front of our house. Today, I removed the old concrete border in our planting bed.
In the photo below, you can see where the old border once was. I've also outlined where the new bed/entryway will be using a garden hose.
The next step is to buy the new border, pea gravel, and a few pavers. Hopefully I'll get some more accomplished tomorrow... at which point I'll post an update.
