Old shoes instead of Vasenkov

There are several ways to adapt older shoes for growing "green friends" – this should be done prudently, because any flowers and succulents need the proper plant specific soil, watering, fertilizing and lighting quality. What happens from pair of shoes only solves its model and your imagination.



If the old things are valuable and memorable, it is possible to preserve an outlandish containers and tell all the guests: "you See that cactus over in those shoes? I went to Congo, and thorns there at the same time dug" In principle any plant can be grown in the Shoe so that it it is not affected by gradually destroying the moisture from watering.

To do this, simply select the pot, disposable Cup, box or bottle (for boots), suitable in size to the internal space of the Shoe. Creepers will quickly disguise your "little trick" — it could be ivy, bindweed, vetch and other "creepers".

Anyone who likes the idea of "the original", to do some other work inside the Shoe of a fabric must be covered with a polyethylene film or simply invest in regular plastic bag, and rubber or plastic shoes and so will do. Don't forget awl to make holes in the soles so that excess moisture does not interfere with the plants.

Now pour inside the pebbles, then soil, plant your favorite plants and briefly place the container in the shade for acclimatization. You need to consider that the smaller the size of the very shoes, the more drought-tolerant should be plant – ideally, cacti, young, lithops and other succulents.

Such containers can be plenty to experiment: paint a can of spray paint, to apply patterns and cover gloss varnish. For a more decorative shoes can cut holes, through which a bundle of straw "will break" live greenery.



Placed the newly made flower bed where you like: in the garden, on the porch or the terrace, on window sills, hung on a fence or a wall – sort of a "Humpty Dumpty". Will look interesting as a single "sneaker", and the group composition.

Have the courage to give a chance to become use to the sneakers, flip-flops or flats – such a colorful creation is sure to delight you, will surprise guests and will be a "hit" of the summer season!
