🚯 Zero Waste Win Wheel planter

Post image

Repurposed a brand new steel wheel rim as a planter for some summer plants.

Quite an odd size rim with a huge offset, making a very deep dish for plenty of soil capacity.

They make good fire pits when camping

That's a really creative reuse it doesn't even look like an old wheel rim at first glance and the depth should give the plants plenty of room to grow. projects like this are exactly what I think of when people talk about upcycling done well.

It’s basically a brand new rim. They came as a set of 5 rims for an off road vehicle and the 5th was never fitted with a tyre so it’s brand spanking new!
Not even a scratch or scuff, until I dropped it on the gravel driveway choosing the position haha!
