From scrap metal to the garden

Some of Mums recycling, from Dad's scrap metal yard to her garden........




Barbed wire birds nest

Barbed wire orbs. The concrete stand was actually the lump they dug out the lawn that held the old metal clothesline!

An old plough disk holds the orbs. 

Water trough floats, and the smallest, a bed knob, held up with pipe
