Unlimited creativity produces beauty even with limited materials.
Some time ago, I made a garden wall using old zinc from my previous renovated house. It doesn't stop there, I can't stop using old materials around from my previous renovated house.
These used materials make my mind unable to stop. When I see my garden which is easily overgrown with wild grass. Especially the garden pathway area.
You can see for yourself that this pathway area is overgrown with grass. If left unchecked, the grass will also carry plant-destroying pests.
Finally I had the idea to design the pathway to be layered with some materials available in my house. I have some clay bricks that are a beautiful orange-brown color.
Also, I have some used ceramics. Apart from that, in my garden there are also river small stones which I can combine with clay bricks and ceramics.
After cleaning up the weeds that were growing, I started arranging the clay bricks one by one. I gave myself a distance of about the size of my footsteps to walk step by step.
Every one area line, I added 4 blocks of clay bricks. This is to keep this area balanced when my feet step on it when looking at my garden.
After finishing with the clay bricks, I moved on to collecting river small stones around my garden. Those stones look dirty with dirt. So, I washed them first so that their original color would emerge and create a natural vibes around the garden pathway.
Then, I also added ceramics at both ends of the pathway which contained clay bricks.
The results look good even though they are still not neat because I lack small stones to fill the pathway area. I plan to buy small stones to fill in the gaps in this area.
Continuing to another pathway area, I used ceramics consisting of two different motifs. Due to the limited supply of ceramics, I had to provide the right distance so that there were enough ceramics to fill the pathway. Balance is quite important here.
I also used a plastic string for simple measurements 🤣 I'm not a pro. When my husband comes home from work, he just laughs at my work 🤣 but at the same time he is proud that I can do everything myself.
The results were not very good because the pathway area was bumpy. Apart from that, the limited supply of small stones as I mentioned above means that my work is not completely perfect. But next time I will upgrade again if I have bought other materials.
I am grateful for the limited materials left over from renovating my house. So there is no leftover material and no space filled with junk.
I like the results of my hard work alone 🤣 even though it's not very neat, I enjoy looking at the new pathway in my garden. Looks neater. Also, my garden seems to have areas separating each other.
Well, I still have a lot of work to do to fill the empty areas with small stones to avoid crazy grass growth. Also, there is still one pathway that I haven't designed with stones or ceramics.
All old materials are gone now. So, this is all I can do. Not bad for making me sweat! See you again in my next garden stories! ❤️❤️❤️

Hmm... I like the paths that you make out with bricks and gravel, it's cool because it uses leftover materials rather than unused ones. You share a great idea. But, what about ceramics? Will it be slippery when wet?
Just don’t go to the garden when rainy day. Or just avoid the ceramic one. Walk in the stones area ehehe
brilliant solution as usual🤩
Hi @anggreklestari
This seems really fun and exciting.
Loved your dedication towards building this garden, It will hold many of your future loved memories.

Everyone can make something good by spending money, but if you have a creative mind then show it by making a amazing items with limited source and you have done a fabulous work ..
creative is the first one but yeah we still need money then. but no problem as long as we work for it
creativity is when we do something amazing with less resources...
❤️
With creativity you only need a few useful materials like these. Congratulations, greetings!!

It turned out great, keeping a garden is not easy work at all I remember watching my aunt work on hers daily, watering, planting, cleaning, it never ends, those tomatoes 🍅? Looking great too ✌️

Hello friend 😊 @anggreklestari the garden looks beautiful, I see a garden with many plants, harmonious and organized, with a path made with love. 😍.
Those tomatoes look beautiful, I congratulate you for making things with your own hands, you have a very hard working spirit that I bless.
I just can let wild grass filled the garden ground ehehe. so better to plant with something useful 😊
good afternoon dear friend @anggreklestari
I love the work you are doing in the garden, and the best of all is that you do it with recycled material that you had in your home.
It's good how you turned out and improved the place with these practical ideas.
I admit the great work you do in your garden. congratulations, enjoy the weekend
Enjoy your weekend too😊
That is a wonderful garden. We want to do a garden this year, and a path seems essential. Also, it's pretty🌸
In Indonesia, sunshine is always coming even in rainy day. so I have to make my garden work instead the wild grass will filling up those spaces
I love your idea for a path. I think it looks great already !
I am so happy with that results ❤️❤️❤️
Even if things are less, if they are used properly, then things become much more beautiful. You have worked hard in this garden.
I am glad I can use old material
Yeah. That's good.
This is really creative... you make a beautiful pathway using that material... nice work 👍
Happy Sunday 😄
❤️❤️❤️
You reminded me of my father, he's so resourceful, using old materials for creating new ideas like this.. he's the one who made our footpath around the house from broken tiles.. you're so creative ! LADY
❤️ Using old material also can reduce something want to be trash
You have a creative mind and hand.I am proud that you can do things on your own.
The tomatoes really looks good in my eyes,it makes me want to savour it with salt ahhhhh🤤 yummy.
In fact, the tomatoes are just yummy and different from tomato from the market. I thought about these are organic 😊😋😋😋
You have a very nice soil in your place. The plants look healthy. You're not only excellent in cooking, but in gardening as well. I think creativity will come out more if there are only limited materials to use. It maximizes your mind of what you have at hand. Good job.
in the first stage, I have to buy compost soil and mix all them together. so now the soil is in good condition. especially when rain comes in good amount, not less or not much 😊
Hi @anggreklestari I congratulate you for the hard work to beautify the garden, the path with stones looks nice and colorful, you have excellent ideas to take advantage of the materials you have at home.
I see a variety of crops, it is a blessing to work with our hands and harvest the food.
Greetings!
Many crops more coming and I am really glad
Thank you for friend
