Nothing is better than soft, natural lighting while spending time outdoors in the evening hours. I don’t know about you, but I prefer my garden lighting to have some character! Lighting in the garden is really important if you spend any time outdoors after the sun goes down, and it should definitely be more than switching on a porch light. We found these DIY projects that show us how to make these unique garden lanterns perfect for that spring night or that winter holiday glow, or any night in between! Recently we came across this great idea for using old insulators to create one of a kind garden lanterns at ‘Vintage Ambience‘, a vintage rental company in the Seattle area. We love these because of the soft color, the gentle glow, the re-purposing of the insulators and the easy and quick nature of the project itself! These old style insulators can be found at antique shops or architectural salvage. There are a few that have become collectable and are quite expensive, but you can still find plenty in the ten dollar range or less. Here’s how to make a unique garden lantern! Step one: Using floral wire, encircle the middle of the insulator with a “girdle” of wire, twist to secure and then bend back the excess wire onto itself. Step two: Create a large loop with the wire for the “handle” of the lantern. Attach to the wire on each side to the “girdle” , twist to secure, bend back if necessary. Step three: Fill the opening with a little sand, then drop a votive candle into the top of the insulator. Hang and light! Easy, unique way to add wonderful garden lighting for any time of year. We love this project! Ananda at ‘Piece of Rainbow’ has a complete tutorial for her DIY faux metal star lanterns. These lanterns are made from card stock! She has a complete downloadable pattern for this project for you too. Obviously, these can’t be left out in the weather, but can you imagine them for a party or BBQ? Love these!
  These Pottery Barn inspired Hyannis lanterns from Lo at ‘A Lo and Behold Life’ have a really cool coastal vibe, but I think they would fit into a lot of garden spaces. The rope gives it an organic feel, and the project is easy enough with good directions and photos! Check out her home tour while you are there… Pretty!
  So any of you who have been around for awhile know that we love a good glass of wine out in the garden. Preferably red, from right up the road here here in Washington state, but hey, that’s another subject! So when we saw this hanging wine bottle lantern from ‘First Step Designs‘ on Etsy, we were quite ready to have some shipped right out. (And still may, BTW! Great price for these!) If you want to try your hand at DIY’ing this, try this tutorial on ‘Instructables‘.
These DIY candle lanterns from Allison at ‘It’s Toile Good’ are an inexpensive project. Do you recognize those dollar store vases? Finally, something cool to do with them! Good instructions and photos.
  Finally, we love these Pottery Barn knock off sea glass hanging votives from Johnnie at ‘Saved by Love Creations’. She made these for $3! Since PB’s version costs $60, I think this is a tutorial well worth popping over to, don’t you?

Love IKEA? Yes, us too. But did you know they have tons of products that you can use to make clever garden planters? Make these IKEA planter hacks for less money, and with more character! Just a reminder, as we all know, IKEA changes it’s inventory pretty often, so if you can’t find a product listed in one of these tutorials, chance are they have a similar one that will work. Our feature photo above, is from ‘IKEAHackers’ themselves. They made this designer hanging planter with the “Asker” container from Ikea and some old leather belts. Really simple and fast project! From ‘House Pet‘, this IKEA planter hack uses the Tradig wire bowl as a base, and then just tucked a pot inside. This looks like a very expensive piece I saw recently in a modern furnishings store.
  Crystal from ‘A Pumpkin and a Princess’ made this succulent planter box IKEA hack from the Dragon bamboo bath accessories… I love the simple but natural feel of this.
  From ‘Design Sponge’, this Grundtal kitchen storage was repurposed as a hanging IKEA planter hack in the kitchen.
  Learn how to plant a succulent garden in an IKEA cart from ‘Succulents and Sunshine’. BTW, this site has great info on growing succulents, so spend a little time here. I love the color of this cart! Plus, she has a warning for assembly that you should know.
  So this IKEA hack from ‘Brady Bunch Remodel‘ isn’t exactly a hack, because they start out using an Ikea planter from the Kardemumma series… The difference is, they took two of the pots and turned one of them upside down and made them into a Mid Century Modern planter knock off!
  This DIY totem planter IKEA hack from ‘We Are Scout’ is really clever and inexpensive. She used the Ikea 365+ white bowls and acrylic paint to  make the magic, and these look just like ceramic! Great tutorial with lots of instruction and photos.
  ‘The Geek Ticket’ used an IKEA Antonius shelving system to create this balcony planter IKEA hack. And the best part? The basket costs less than $3!
  Ok, one more! A floating shelf planter? Done. ‘Hot for Houses‘ used an Ikea Ribba picture shelf to do a knock off of an expensive floating shelf made just for air plants.

If you have a wood-burning fireplace, chances are you have firewood, right? Unfortunately, that also means you need place to store it! If you are like me, you want the firewood nearby so you don’t have to trek out to a cold shed through a snowy yard, but you don’t really want it inside. Firewood is dirty, it brings in some bugs and unless you live in a rustic mountain cabin, chances are it doesn’t do much for your style. But then if you store it stacked outside, you need to make sure it doesn’t trap moisture between it and the side of the house or become a perfect home for vermin in the garage. Oh, yes, on top of all that, you want it to stay off the ground so it doesn’t get waterlogged! So the perfect solution are these super easy DIY outdoor firewood racks. You can store your wood close, clean, and dry and it allows you to buy wood in bulk, saving you money. Time to “fire” up the DIY! Our featured project above, is from our favorite woodworking girl, ‘Ana White’. Build a firewood rack with some simple connectors, and get free plans for this project from ‘DIY Done Right‘! From ‘Home Depot’ you can use their firewood rack bracket kit and some 2×4’s to make your own firewood rack in just a few minutes. So simple!
  This idea from ‘Metal Garden Beds‘ is smart and simple. They simply took a corrugated metal raised bed frame and turned it on its side… Instant firewood rack!
  From Shayna (and Anthony!) at ‘The Wood Grain Cottage’, this DIY rolling firewood cart is perfect for storing your wood where you can easily get to it, but can be rolled out of the way as well. (BTW this also makes it easy to clean around and behind your wood pile, which helps prevent little furry creatures from settling in!) Lots and lots of step by step photos in this really clear tutorial.
  From the forum ‘BBQ Brethren’, this DIY firewood rack was submitted by one of their readers, complete with plans! We love this because you can probably make it with things laying around your garage…and it does a great job of keeping the wood off the ground, which is great for areas with lots of snow.
  This firewood rack from ‘Instructables’ uses no tools to construct. Pretty clever design!
  This is a smaller version, same idea. Found on ‘Homedit’. Simply cinder blocks and scrap 2×4’s!
  This is a simple DIY firewood rack we found on ‘Indulgy‘… Just lay pipe on top of concrete footings from the home improvement store, then stack your wood! Great economical way to keep your wood off the ground and draining properly from the weather.
  Need one more idea? Ok we gotcha. Uploaded by a user on Pinterest, this firewood rack is simply three empty wood pallets, joined by wood braces. We suggest using screws, not nails, but even scrap wood will work! Brace both sides of the rack. Great upcycling!

I’m a big fan of certain things in the garden… stone, concrete, metal and wood. I think it’s because even while some of these things are not organic in their mentioned forms, (though some are), they all do represent natural entities… earth, fire, water – and come from the earth in some way. And they are all subject to the rigors of Mother Nature, no matter how strong or hard they once were. There is something really visceral about being reminded of the amazing strength of the forces of nature, and how strong is the circle of life. Yea, I get it, metal, stone and concrete? Not so much on the alive part. But they represent what happens to everything on this earth… It is born of need or want, it serves it’s life, and then it decays and eventually passes on to other places and things. Those are the things a garden remind us of over and over again… The need to understand the how and the why of the world is right here in front of us. Birth, beauty, suffering, resilience, joy, meaning, death. They are all right here in nature. And they all teach us something that is relevant to what is going on in our lives. As my teenage daughter would say, “Wow. Little off the deep end Mom.” Ok, ok. So to my point. The gardens that inspire me the most are ones that contain these elements. Have you ever walked through a garden full of rusty metal garden decor, maybe a touch of deep green moss and an old decaying log and not wanted to stay, or take photos, or remember that scene? I betcha haven’t. So here is a our little virtual tour of what has inspired us this week. BTW, at the end, look for the recipe we found on how to create rust on items you might want to use as rusty garden decor! (But aren’t quite to the “rusty” stage yet!) Garden sign above, from ‘A Rustic Garden‘. These rusted metal garden spheres from ‘The Oresome Garden‘ are large enough to catch your attention in the garden. It seems like either this kind of decor needs to hide quietly, to be discovered in secret under some leafy bower, or to make a big impact. Love these. We recently saw similar ones made from wine barrels rings!
  Steve took this photo of a rusted leafy plant during a local walk here recently… Make sure you remember to look around your neighborhoods and local gardens for inspiring scenes every day!
  This bird bath made of  rusted old machinery parts was found at Dragonfly Farm by Denise from ‘Spittin Toad‘. Her son used this as inspiration to make a gift like this for his grandparents… I love the idea of passing on garden values to kids, and then sharing it with other generations!
  From ‘Hidden Hills Garden‘, these rusted metal funnels are a reminder to every gardener who wants to learn about repurposing that you don’t have to get fancy or complicated… Simple idea, vintage result.
  From ‘Workshop 11 Design‘ via ‘Houzz’, this address sign/ mailbox is ever so cool. It’s not just me either! Visit the page and see ow many people are asking for ordering info! Rusty things are not just for vintage style! Remember, Frank Lloyd Wright felt that modern style and nature were as one.
  This rusted cactus comes to us from ‘The Outlaw Gardener‘ of the garden of Cleo Raulerson in Bellevue, Washington. (We know this area well!) You should definitely click through and see all the photos of her gardens… amazing Pac NW gardening!
  These next two photos were a result of a simple neighborhood walk by ‘Rhone Street Gardens‘ in Brooklyn. Yep, Brooklyn. We love the diversity and creativity we find in city gardens.

  Sandi at ‘The Dirt‘, a master gardening blog in Minnesota, shared this Father’s Day gift of flowers! Thanks Sandi, for also sharing the artists’ contact info. We love featuring local artists, even if they aren’t local to us! Paul’s Metal Petals.
  Want a rusted metal accent in  your garden that is practical too? These steel edgings from ‘Skemah‘ are unique, pre-rusted and look great!
  This metal sculpture from ‘Bellewood Gardens‘ in Pennsylvania is an example of how elegant something can look that is technically decaying! This is a more formal garden, and this piece is right at home.
  Finally, like I promised, a recipe for creating rust when your patience doesn’t keep up with your intentions! ‘Lucy Designs’ shows us an easy way to give metal pieces a rusty patina using just salt, vinegar and peroxide.

Repurposing is a craze that is not going away any time soon, and it shouldn’t! We all need to think about things in a new way to prevent waste, and it helps that it is a lot of fun to use your creativity to make old things into new. I especially love to use old things in the garden… Ok, it sounds dumb, but I feel like Mother Nature appreciates it just a little more when it’s used to enhance the great outdoors. Corny, yes. But hey, it makes me feel good. These thrift store DIY garden projects are just the thing for a rainy Saturday (or a sunny Monday!) to help you decorate your outdoor space. Our feature photo above, is from ‘Ruff by Margo‘. She gathers great ideas for old windows, and her reader Jennifer sent this one in, with a window box attached. So charming! From ‘Gumption Decor’ I love this DIY file cabinet planter! I’ve seen these projects before, but wondered if they could hold up to all that weight of the soil. They fixed this problem by having a wood liner made from scrap wood. A little spray paint and wheels, and a very cool, contemporary planter! (BTW, you need to make sure you have a solid bottom on the file cabinet, these run about $10 at my local Goodwill!)
  Pam at ‘House of Hawthornes’ made this DIY mosaic bowling ball yard art from… well, yes, a bowling ball. This is an easy project with some caulk, grout and some craft store gems. I would love one that was all aqua blue! Easy to follow tutorial with photos.
  Ingenious much? ‘Gadget Sponge‘ created these repurposed up cycled bird feeder for ‘Birds and Blooms Magazine’! Pretty…Cool… And a good tutorial too!
  Another repurposed bird feeder that requires almost no work? An old outdoor lantern with the glass removed… Perfect! If you find those cheap brass kinds, use a spray paint with an antique or hammered metal finish on the outside. From ‘Real Simple’.
  Ok, this one is a cuuuttteeee. Vanessa at ‘Tried and True’ has a full tutorial for you to learn to make her DIY acorn bird feeder. A wooden bowl from the thrift store and some wire mesh make this adorable! Let’s just hope the squirrels don’t catch sight!
  From ‘Ann’s Garden Path’, these hanging chandeliers from wire baskets are really clever, and easy and inexpensive to make. The wire baskets are from thrift stores, and they are lit with a $1.50 Target solar light. Hang them on Shepard hooks, or I love the idea of hanging them in a tree with a little table and two chairs just underneath. Quaint, huh?
  ‘Let’s Go Fly a Kite’ turned ordinary thrift store salad bowls into the most adorable garden toadstools I ever saw. If you have kids and want to teach them the magic of a garden, this is the project for you. (Or, even if you don’t!) Step by step photos. Love this!
  From ‘Morena’s Corner’, this DIY tea pot bird bath is really a piece of vintage art. I love how she reminds us not to paint the top, inside portion of the bird bath. It can’t be good for them!  And I really like the soothing green she chose… just enough of a color pop that the piece stands out in the garden, but not so much as to clash with it’s surroundings.
  Use a thrift store spring form pan to make these DIY stepping stones from ‘Home Hardware’. Very simple tutorial. Project with the kids this weekend? Make a terrarium from a repurposed light fixture with this idea from ‘HGTV Gardens’. Easy! Oh, and they have full instructions on caring for a terrarium too!
  This dresser turned plant container from Kay Basset is via ‘Flea Market Gardening‘. Great site with a lot of thrifting ideas!
  Ok, this last one from ‘Lily Pad Cottage’ I’m throwing in there for two reasons… 1. Even thought she made this amazingly smart DIY fire pit table top from scratch, this could be made using the top of a thrift store dining table as well. 2. It’s smart!

If you have kids or pets to keep in, (or out!) or just want some privacy from the neighbors, building a DIY fence is a great way to save money in your landscaping. We have a round up of some great DIY fence projects for you, but also a couple of tips to keep in mind… Always call your local utility company and have them come out and mark your lines BEFORE you dig. Nothing will stop a DIY project faster than hitting a utility line. Not to mention, they could charge you for the damage… Don’t DIY the utility marking! Make sure you are willing to be flexible with supplies. For instance, a tutorial may suggest one type of wood that is common in their part of the country, but expensive in yours. Ask your home improvement store for suggestions. A fence doesn’t have to be just utilitarian… It can be an attractive part of your landscape. Remember safety when using power tools!!! Ok, on to your DIY fence projects! A great place to start with all the basics of fence building is ‘Buildipedia’. Learn how to build a wood privacy fence from their very complete tutorial, including a video. Are your fence dreams more of the white picket variety? No problem, ‘Yahoo’ has the how-to’s for you… How to build a picket fence. Can’t you just see the climbing roses now?
  So ‘Crafty Texas Girl’ prettied up the fence she had with a little industrial flair… Learn how to build a tin accent wall!
  ‘C.R.A.F.T.’ has another take on dressing up a fence, DIY style… making a marble fence! I love what this looks like with the sun shining through!
  Love, love LOVE this modern fence project by ‘The Cavender Diary’! Lots and lots of photos for this project, so be sure you check out their awesomeness.
  Want an Asian feel to your yard or garden? Install a bamboo fence with this tutorial by ‘DIY Network‘… BTW, you can do a similar look with rolled bamboo fencing bought from Home Depot for less cost.
  Check out this great idea with tutorial from ‘Home-Dzine’. They show us how to make wood post sleeves to transform an ugly chain link fence.
  ‘Recyclart’ has a great idea for adding art to the garden, while recycling old pallets! Find out all about their pallets patio fence!
  Finally, if you want to know how to build a quick and easy recycle pallet fence, try this basic plan from ‘Horse and Hound‘… The pallets fit right over the fence posts! When you go to this site, scroll down a little to find the post for the fence, and the instructions…
So DIY a fence project and make your dream yard one step closer to being exactly what you want!

If you grow herbs in your garden, chances are there comes a time every year when you realize you have tons of herbs. Don’t just let them die back with the end of the season and end up in the compost pile! Herbs were meant to be used and useful, and if you know what to do with them, they can have great uses in the kitchen, bath, or even as great gifts! (People pay good money for these specialty herb gifts, and you have the most important ingredients right in your own garden!) These clever projects made using herbs will show you how you can use all those sprigs of rosemary and bunches of basil! Our feature project above, is from “Mother Earth Living’. Find out how to make homemade soap with herbs, including this amazing Lavender Rosemary Soap! And so pretty! Wrap it in some lavender colored tissue paper and tie with a raffia string for a quick gift. Learn how to infuse olive oil with herbs, from ‘The Kitchn’. Use this in your own cooking, or make them for gifts from the garden. There are pretty much endless combinations you can create with this, great on salads or used to saute. Mmmmm!
  Also from ‘The Kitchn’, make herbal infused honey and use it for everything under the sun, from sweetening tea with a gourmet touch, to a soothing syrup for a cough.

We love living outdoors as much as possible, but in order to live outdoors, you need to have a spot to do that living! That pretty much requires furniture, which can be pricey, cheap looking, or just plain not work for your needs. These brilliant DIY outdoor furniture projects will make sure you always have a place to sit, cook, serve, and even just set down your glass of wine or lemonade! Give one (or all of them) a try to make your outside spaces more comfortable for your family and friends to wile away those warm afternoons and evenings. Our feature project above, is from ‘DIY Candy’. This Williams Sonoma inspired DIY outdoor bench is just what you need for extra seating on the deck, or to tuck in a little garden nook for an afternoon breather. Such a nice, clean look to this project! Great tutorial! Oh, and did we mention? They did this for $35! We found this tutorial for this really awesome DIY pallet rustic table from ‘Inspire Me Heather’ via ‘The 36Th Avenue’… What a great way to repurpose, and make something really useable and full of charm. I can see this with more modern chairs, or paired with poufs on a simple patio!
  From ‘Design Confidential’ this Chesapeake double lounger is exactly what Steve and I need… This is an amazing DIY project, because it looks very high end. Could you touch this in a place like “Room and Board” for less than $700? Find the link for the free plans in the first paragraph!
  This DIY picnic table from ‘BHG’ is one of my fav outdoor table designs… Not only do I LOVE the base, but using wood of different sizes makes the piece look simple, yet really interesting all at the same time. Pretty simple table top!
  From “Home Dzine”, this pine garden love seat is a great project for using out in the garden, or better yet, in a spot with a view of the garden! Complete supply list along with these plans.
  Remember when I mentioned having a place to set that glass of wine? This DIY concrete side table totally fits the bill for me. Yes, please! Love this look. From ‘Store Front Life’, lot’s of step by step photos and instructions.
  So if you have been reading us for awhile, you know we are HUGE fans of Ana White. She is one amazing woodworker, DIY’er, and all around brilliant artist with building furniture. And the best part for you guys? She’s gives out free plans, instructions, and even shares her readers versions of her projects! So we are featuring several of her projects next…Why? ‘Cause she is that good. This grill table with stainless top was made by one of her readers, Krochelle… We believe it was modified from her sturdy work bench plans. Be sure to read both, because Krochelle does offer a lot of tips on how she did this version in the comments. Also, there are other versions of this done by other readers on her site… lot’s of opportunities to personalize your project here!
  Build this Adirondack stool or end table from Ana White’s free plans! Be sure to scroll down to find the drawings and instructions. I love the bright colors she used on these!
  This cedar ladder garden planter is our last project for today from Ana, and it is the perfect way to bring a touch of the garden up to eye level for these outdoor living spaces. As always, GREAT instructions for this project!

We don’t always think of our outdoor spaces like rooms, but we should! There should be design elements in every garden that make us smile, and that shouldn’t be limited to just plants. Garden fences are like our virtual “walls” in a garden, and if you think of them that way, you know they need some sprucing! As you would hang photos and art on your interior walls, don’t be afraid to try these 15 creative garden fence spruce ups! Keeyla Meadows is one of my favorite garden artists, and she would tell you that nature is a work of art, so celebrate it! She introduced me some years ago to the idea of a garden as more than just flowers and plants in her book, ‘Making Gardens Works of Art”. So let’s do like Keeyla, and and spruce up (at least) our fences! The photo above, is from Keeyla’s Morroccan sanctuary garden. Ok, we probably aren’t going to weld and form and paint and sculpt a fence like this entry gate. But let it inspire you to think creatively! ‘Chris H. Olsen‘ has the idea, he used store bought metal flowers, but then spray painted them a vibrant color and hung them on the garden fence! You could even do this with old tools, or even rusty metal parts.
  So we found this idea on Pinterest, but we love it! This is colored glass marbles set into a pattern in the fence. You could recreate this by first tracing out your pattern onto the fence with pencil, marking where each hole for each marble should go. Make sure the drill bit you use is just a tiny bit smaller than the diameter of the marble, and then drill your holes. You want the marble to fit very tightly in each hole so they will stay in place. Practice with your drill bit(s) to check for sizing on a scrap piece of wood first. BTW, if anyone knows who did this project, please share it with us in comments or email.
  From ‘Sensibly Sara’, this DIY fence table is perfect for extra space when entertaining, a potting bench, a play space for the kids (perfect place to finger paint!) or even a place to do home work on a nice day! Simple, easy to follow tutorial.
  Some sticks and some plywood come together to make this DIY outdoor letter art from ‘Better Homes and Gardens Australia’. I could think of so many words I would like to see on my garden fence!
  CC at ‘Hometalk‘ made this amazing faux secret garden door on the fence. Starting with an old door, porch poles, bunk bed slats, and even flower pots as finials turned this salvage into something sweet!
  From ‘Garden Tenders‘, this dragonfly art looks right at home here on this fence. Want to know how to do something like this yourself? Check out our post on TBD on garden spruce ups.
  Donna at ‘Funky Junk Interiors‘, hung this canning jar lid wreath on her fence for a little rusty charm. This is simply old canning jar lids strung onto an old tie!
  ‘Babblings and More‘ used an old window and some jars to create a homey little vignette. They filled the jars with stones to keep them in place. Cute!
  ‘Creative Star Learning‘ made this fence hung water wall (it’s almost like a fancy rain chain!) from bamboo.
  From ‘There Was a Crooked House‘, this is a brilliant idea on a budget! After you paint your frames, we recommend giving them a coat of clear exterior sealer to extend their life outdoors.
  We found this idea on Pinterest, and it’s pretty simple. Hang string lights from your fence line!
  From ‘Creative Raisins‘, these antique looking signs are actually DIY reproductions!
  ‘Flea Market Gardening‘ simply found this cute barrel hoop heart hung on a fence from Patty Hicks. Adorable!
  So finally, another Pinterest photo we can’t find a source for, but didn’t want to let go by. This tree painting on a fence would not be hard to do, think kindergarten! (Ok, maybe a little time consuming. Scale it down, maybe?) So fun!

I love projects with rocks. I don’t know if it’s because they are such a natural element, or because they are all so different, or just because it’s like playing with adult legos… But I love them! So when I run across a great DIY project with rocks, all I want to do is start digging around in the garden for some great basalt and quartz! We ran across all these creative garden projects with rocks that any of you can do. Use something from nature and create useful and artful accents for your garden! Our feature project above and below, is a wire and stone heart craft by ‘Country Woman’… Have I mentioned, I use to be the home decor expert for “Country Woman’? Love this project! Photos for Country Woman by StockFood/Gallo Images.
  ‘Better Homes Australia’ shows us how to make a water feature with stones. I love this! Can you think of a better use for rocks? Great tutorial with lots of photos.

  ‘Oh My Creative’ made a vegetables garden in a stone spiral, one of the most creative veggie gardens I have ever seen. Lot’s of photos!
  Create a pebble mosaic with these instructions form ‘BHG’… Make you walkway or patio something special!

  ‘This Old House’ shows us how to make a stone sculpture for your garden with these easy instructions, They even tell you what kind of epoxy to use, which can be the hardest thing to figure out for these kind of outdoor projects.
  Nancy at ‘Sugar Lump Studios‘ shared this great photo she took while on a girlfriend getaway in Michigan… This is just chicken wire forms filled with stones. Isn’t this the most charming front porch? Thanks for sharing Nancy!
  From ‘Prairie Break‘, use this easy idea for all the stones you dig up planting your garden. Stones offer good drainage for a downspout area.
  ‘Fresh Ideen‘ brings us this photo from Pinterest (not sure about the original source)… Look for rebar forms or repurposed iron pieces to fill with stones.
  This idea on creating a stone fence with wire and posts comes to us from ‘Green Landscapes to Envy‘. Just remember whatever posts/wire/cable set up you use, make sure it is strong enough to hold the weight of the rocks you fill it with.
  ‘Project Landscape‘ brings us this idea of making wire rock towers… Use heavy duty wire fencing, join with wire ties, and fill with rocks! Use pieces of rebar stuck through the tower and into the ground to stabilize.
