How to build a raised garden with USED BOWLING PINS. You've never seen this before!

I have very poor soil in my yard, and I was getting frustrated with the lousy crops I was getting trying to grow veggies in it. So, I decided to do something about it! I built some raised gardens, and in just a week the results are amazing.

I build three raised gardens using a mixture of potting soil and Miracle Grow plant mix. Then the brain matter kicked in and I incorporated bowling pins into my design.

Search for USED BOWLING PINS on eBay, $18.50 + shipping.

Step 1

What you need is 10 USED Bowling Pins, and sturdy metal rack (or simular), a childrens wading pool, three bags of potting soil and one half bag of Miracle Grow mix.

The Used Pins you can find on eBay for $18.50 + shipping, the metal rack you can scrounge for, the wading pool you can get for a buck at a garage sale. The potting soil and Miracle Grow come from your local home improvement store.

Oh Yeah, you need seeds too!

Bowling pins, really?

Yes, the Bowling pins raise the planter about 3.5 inches above the ground for easy drainage and sould keep the bugs away. Try it, you'll like it. Mention this reply and I'll give you a 10% discount on your pins. Jay

The concept of raising the planter is sound. Trying to recycle used bowling pins into something useful is admirable. Recommending people buy used bowling pins for this project instead of using something more practical and less expensive (like maybe a few bricks) is absurd.
