Using used mailboxes for your garden’s art design
We should use a mailbox in our larger gardens. It makes a cute garden an art piece and serves a function too. just pick up used mailboxes at auctions, garage sales, or even along surbsides. The older boxes add to the artistic look we wanted in the garden areas. make sure the mail box works and opens and closes properly. It’s a great place to store
you will need:
-a small notebook for planting tips and planting dates
-small hammer
-small stakes
-string
-seeds that I will plant later that day or the following day
-garden markers
-garden spade
-ruler
By having a usable mailbox storage area this keeps us from running back and forth for one item time after time and we have a place to store items out of the rain and away from my dog who loves to pick up any item we lay down and run around the yard taunting us. sometimes we had the bad habit of laying down an item and not being able to find it until the lawn mower does. This article’s point has solved that problem. To make the mail boxes look different each year we have to moved them to a different garden. placed an artificial bird on them or a cute signs. Sometimes they get a vine placed near the bottom that will wind its way up the mailbox during the summer. One year I had a double decker mailbox. The bottom one to use as storage and the top one was open and mainly there for look, but I did have birds use it as a perch.
