"Useless" Garden Tools

by Robin J. Steinweg
(Wisconsin)

I picked up an old, old garden rake, a hoe, and an unidentified tool with a long handle for twenty-five cents each at a yard sale. I pushed the handles into the soil of my flower garden, tied the tops together with twine to form a tripod, and had a quirky trellis for some flowering vines. As a bonus, the birds love to perch on it and sing.

Also use a garden ornaments
by: Beth

Great idea to build a tripod!
Have also seen old rakes/shovels, etc painted bright colors, and inserted handle-first into the soil as a garden ornament. Have even seen a small bird house attached.
Have to remember to check those yard sales!
