Garden project (Australia)

[Renae]

So my latest garden project is stuffing log's with plant's.. I look for them everywhere.... nearly hit the kerb the other day while skimming the roadsides

Well here's the first one I found.. I'm planning to have a 'garden tea' and plant sale at my place later in spring.. so I'll sell some.

Then I got hubby to cut it in half..

[Renae]

This end was partly hollow, but needed a bit of widening & a drainage hole.

[Renae]

Started widening the spaces with a chisel and mallet. (saving the woodchip's for planting)

[Renae]

The log was burnt, but still solid enough inside..

[Renae]

In the end we got out the drill, to make the larger side easier to chisel, and put about 20 holes in to the depth I wanted, then chipped away....

Finally finished.. and stuffed with a Neoregelia (Bromeliad) & Dendrobium (Rock Orchid).. still looking for something to put in front of it.. ( maybe a fern)

[Renae]

The other end has a dormant Orchid in it.. and look's a bit sad.. so I'll post when it picks up..

[Renae]

So one last close up.. But I'm wondering, what do you stuff your log's with?

[Simba]

Thats a great idea Renae, it looks really effective ....
