Bowl of Greens
A dried-out or cracked wooden salad bowl might not look great on the family dinner table, but it could make a big statement on the back patio. Screw three tapered table legs to the bottom of a wooden bowl to construct a tripod planter, then fill the bowl with succulents, creeping Jenny, or other greenery to breathe life and color into your yard. And don’t forget this important step: Drill a hole in the center of the base of the bowl to allow the planter to drain, keeping the plants healthy.
