This weeks Theme is Broken

Here’s an idea for all the combo gardener / computer geeks out there. Broken monitors apparently make great planters.

I’m not sure it’s my gardening style but it’s kind of a fun look isn’t it? I wonder what that gardener is going to do when the pine or cedar bushes get bigger? They should have planted them in bigger monitors!

If anyone has done something like this, or has other interesting ways to use common objects as planters I’d love to see the photos.

    Very very interesting. Never heard of such. Never thought of such. I’m into the whole recyling thing but this one takes the cake.

    mine’s up! do drop by!

    LOL! This is not MY style either — but it always tickles me when I pass someone’s garden that has done something like this! It’s FUN! And to each his own! ๐Ÿ™‚ Great job for today’s hunt!

    Certainly not my style of gardening, but some people are very creative and it amazes me what they can do with their broken stuff. Happy weekend.

    So cool! As a Mac lover, I had a short-lived pang but then realized that they are being used well.

    Those photos are really funny and great for this week’s theme. I’ve seen someone take an old Mac and make an aquarium!

    Ha ha ha… it tickles my fantasy and gives inspiration to think outside the box even though it isn’t exactly beautiful ๐Ÿ™‚

    This one made me chuckle. Since the size of these monitors is just about a foot, I wonder if Mel Bartholomew would approve them for Square Foot Gardening? Hehe. ๐Ÿ˜›

    Aaaaahh… As an exemployee of a computer repair shop 10 years ago… I can really appreciate the art in the old MACs ๐Ÿ˜‰ Supreme Art.
