1.Muffin Tin for Perfect Planting Grid
Although the primary purpose of muffin tins is to be used in baking, they can as well be used in planting seeds.
Make a perfect grid where you will see precisely where to put the seeds and how much space should be left between them.
2. Glass Bottles for Path Marking
Using glass bottles to mark a path in your yard will be perfect to let your kids know where to step.
3. Garden Markers from Old Spoons
With the use of hammer, flatten old metal spoons to make garden markers. Then, be creative and use colorful pain for the spoons.
They really are cool garden markers, don’t they? In case you don’t have old metal spoons, use plastic ones. Don’t forget to save the spoons every time you get takeout.
4. Old Bottles for Hydrated Plants
You don’t know how to use your empty wine bottle?

5. Plastic Forks to Fortify Your Garden
To keep unwanted visitors out of your garden thus preventing them chewing your plants, simply stick forks in the ground as shown in the picture.
6. Make a Planter and Wind Chime from Silverware and a Colander
You will no longer have to throw out old kitchen utensils (lightweight). Make a planter and wind chime by hanging them on the bottom of a colander.
Flip the colander over and fill it with some plant.
7. Glass Bottles for Additional Flair to Small Spaces
If you don’t have enough space for a garden in your backyard, but you want to add greenery there, just make a side opening in an old glass bottle, and put some soil and seeds or a plant inside the bottle.
8. Old Cans as Plant Holders
Use an empty can to make plant holder. Wash them and remove their lids with a can opener, and then paint them with your favorite color.
Cans will probably require several coats of paint to completely cover their original text, color and logo.
Make sure your cans are dry before filling them with soil and add some herb inside. You will quickly make a perfect herb garden in your small space.
