I've got an area on the side of my house that is just ugly with an old hose.
So, what I'm going to do is take some handles and the base for a planter to create a decorative gardening solution. Finding out how to do it can be difficult, but it's actually quite simple. First, take the handles and cover them with tape. Then, use a pen to poke through where the screws go in the handles. Peel off the tape and transfer it onto the side of the planter where you want to drill your marks. Once it's firmly in place, use a pin or a black marker to mark the spots where you'll drill the holes. Remove the tape to reveal your marked spots.
To attach the handles, ensure you have the right size drill bit for the screws. Drill the holes and then insert the screws from the inside to the outside of the planter. Tighten the screws first by hand and then with a screwdriver. Repeat the process for both sides of the planter, ensuring they are securely attached. These handles will be used to carry the base around.
Next, flip the planter over to drill some drainage holes. Use the marks on the back as a guide and drill the holes all the way through, including the middle one for proper drainage. Flip the planter back over and fill it with succulent potting soil. Spread the soil out evenly and fill the planter. Now, you can begin transplanting your succulents onto this base. Simply create holes in the soil and place the roots of the succulents in them. Succulents are easy to care for and can be transported from one pot to another without much hassle. They require less water, earning them the nickname "forget-me-nots" due to their ability to thrive even with occasional neglect.
For the planter hiding the hose, drill a hole about halfway up where you'll insert the hose. A one-inch hole should suffice. Additionally, to prevent water buildup, drill some drain holes in the bottom of the planter.
Lastly, to hold the lid up, place some wood inside the planter. Pre-drill holes using a drill, insert screws and tighten them with the drill against the side of the planter. Make sure to do this on both sides to secure the wood properly. Don't forget to guide the garden hose through the hole, pulling it all the way through and wrapping it up neatly. Finally, place your succulent tray on top of the planter.
I hope these DIY gardening ideas inspire you to create your own succulent tray garden hose holder. Thank you!
