Head to your shed to find some old garden tools you never use for this beautiful upcycle.
To make my new garden, I grabbed a shovel that we no longer use.
The first thing I did to start creating my little garden was to cut the chicken wire to fit the shovel. I would suggest that you wear gloves because this can get a little pokey.
The piece of chicken wire I had was approximately 3ft long, and I cut it about eight inches tall. Clip along all the way across being sure to leave these little pieces or edges.
Next, I wanted to drill a few holes in my old shovel so I propped it up and put a little piece of wood underneath so I didn't drill into the table.
I made four holes in the shovel about three-quarters of an inch apart and basically two on either side in the middle of the shovel.
To get the chicken wire ready, I started by folding it in half.

The cut up the middle allowed me to put it over the front of the handle.
Then I wrapped it around the back on either side.
I also wrapped the bottom underneath the shovel.
To secure the wire in place, I used the little pieces that were left when I cut it and wrapped them around the other end of the chicken wire. This created the basket.
To form the bottom, I did the same thing and wrapped the ends of the wires I had cut around some of the other pieces.
Once the wires were all secured, I turned the shovel back over so I could connect the basket to the shovel with the holes I had drilled.
I used 20 gauge wire and wrapped it around the basket and through the holes to secure it all in place.
Now it was time to add all of the beautiful plants to the shovel.
Before I added them, I put some of my moss into a

This easy table modification all started because we live in cow country and where you have cows, you have flies. They drive me crazy in the summer so I am always looking for ways to deter them. The other day I was at OSH and the sales lady said that most herbs are a natural fly repellent. That got me thinking and this project was born. Now the jury is still out if this works on the flies but I love the end results anyway.
