It has been a long time passion of mine to locate and try to recreate outdoor products with aged materials. With the new Pinterest craze in full swing, I am able to Find beauty in the Fall projects easier than ever. Take this colorful mum garden by Heather Bullard, I am giddy to bring to life.
Materials needed:
- Antique sofa {requirements: wooden frame, undamaged}
- Blooming Mums {easy to obtain at your local home store}
- Shower Pan Lining
- Landscape fabric
- Garden Rock
- Miracle-Gro Potting Mix
- Chicken wire {on as needed}
- Miracle-Gro LiquaFeed
Directions for recreation:
- Complete clear the sofa of all fabrics. You will need this piece down to the bare wood. If the unit has opens in the bottoms sides, round it with chicken wire to hold in the contents.
- Line the bottom of the sofa with shower pan lining and staple or nail it in place {make sure to do this the entire way around the inner wood of the sofa bottom.
- Lay a 1 inch layer of garden rock on your prepare shower pan lining. Do not overfill as the weight cause the bottom to sink
- Place landscape fabric over the garden rock {do not secure to sides}
- Fill the sofa base up to the seating board with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix
Add a variety of colored Mums till full.
- Use Miracle-Gro LiquaFeed as needed.
Keep in mind that Miracle-Gro potting mix is ideal for all kinds of container or potted plants including large products such as this one. It feeds plants for up to 6 months with Miracle-Gro Continuous Release Plant Food.
Miracle-Gro® LiquaFeed® when used as needed makes Fall gardening feeding as easy as Watering and feeds plants through leaves and roots. This works very well for our fall sofa flower bed as mums can be thick from tip to root. This allows each plant to receive the nutritents it needs to thrive.
LiquaFeed can be used with all flowers, vegetables, trees and shrubs. So it is a good buy for multi-purpose use as well.
