I admit, I am a big fan of boxes and drawers, large and small. Moreover, from an aesthetic point of view, I like wooden more, but from the practical I still give preference to plastic: they are durable, you can keep in them anything and anywhere, it is easy to care for – such a container is well washed. And the ways of using boxes in the country house is not counted – from the usual and obvious to very creative ones. The methods of using plastic boxes in the country house cannot be counted – from obvious to creative, for example, wooden boxes, in addition to their main purpose, usually serve as “spare parts” for original furniture:

- Unusual furniture: boxes as the basis of a furniture set
And in what roles are their plastic counterparts capable of performing? I propose to discuss options and share ideas. In the garden, in the garden of plastic containers, possibly a non -casualist, but it is very practical: it will not be wet in the water, it will not rot in the ground, it can serve faithfully for a long time, even if the service conditions are not the most favorable. It is not surprising that summer residents willingly use this. Plant lovers willingly use plastic boxes for planting mobile beds, the owners of vast areas are unlikely to come in handy-it is most often adopted by the City Fermers and just citizens who want to make a small gardening in the courtyard, on the roof of the house or on the balcony. Mobile beds from boxes allow you to grow a variety of cultures of mini-britches from the boxes are mobile, their location is easy to change, combining differently for their own convenience and comfort of plants. A garden in such containers, if desired, can be placed almost anywhere. You can place such a garden almost anywhere, however, you should not think that the possibilities of boxes are exhausted by mini-logs. It all depends on the number of these same boxes and the ingenuity of their owner. Some, for example, consider such a container convenient material for the construction of high beds on vast areas. And why not? You can build high beds from the boxes, or maybe you need not beds, but flower beds? Then what about this option? “A steam locomotive from Romashkovo” with flower wagons-gingers in boxes-veins, by the way, it is quite possible to break a small children’s garden, where the young agronomist will be happy to grow his first crop. Gardens by vertical who said that the boxes must be placed in a horizontal plane? Looking at the following photos, you will make sure that plastic containers are excellent material for creating vertical gardens and gardens: using landing boxes, you can place not only horizontally, but also vertically, the convenience and practicality of such designs is a controversial question, of course, but their fans are invariably located. Someone is attracted by originality, someone is pushing the experiments of crowding … This idea is suitable or not, you can evaluate by well weighing all the pros and cons of vertical beds. By the way, for both vertical and horizontal landing areas of this kind, the correct choice of liner is very important, which will hold the soil in the boxes and prevent its rapid drying out: with what material to linter the future beds from the inside – the question is serious non -woven materials, a small grid, a polyethylene film, a coconut canvas – each has both advantages and disadvantages. Those who think about such experiments may also be useful for publications:

Bulking in boxes of the idea has recently become quite popular. In the comments, some seven -year -olds already talked about how tulips and gladioli are planted in boxes. Tulips in boxes – what are the pluses? The pluses are obvious: the box helps not to lose the bulbs (even the smallest) when digging, and indeed it noticeably facilitates this process; In addition, it can serve as some protection against rodents, replacing ordinary baskets for planting bulbs. This method is suitable for you or not, decide for yourself the truth to plant flowers in the boxes, you will have to dig more. And in a flower garden among perennials in this way, tulips will not be able to place tulips – this is an option for continuous plantings. Well, after all, there is probably no universal solutions that have no shortcomings at all. The technology for planting onion in the boxes is shown in detail in the video from Julia Minyaeva – look to decide whether this option is suitable or not: we compost one popular topic – composting household waste. And here, too, the boxes to help us – from them summer residents learned to build compact and practical garden composters: from the boxes you can build a small composter for waste within this collection, unfortunately, there is no way to consider the technology of preparing compost and biohumus in detail.

Of course, this is far from all the possibilities of applying boxes in the garden economy. Many summer residents know how convenient it is to keep seedlings in them and store the crop; Each home craftsman in a workshop or garage probably has boxes with tools and materials – I think any of you will list more options without any problems. And you can and so … But the cottage is also a house. And in the house for plastic boxes there is also application, do not even doubt! Furniture fantasy rush to frown contemptuously. Yes, I agree, it is difficult to name the exquisite “box” furniture. But sometimes, as they say, not to fat – I would be living. For example, to this day I remember my first cottage-6 acres of peat bog with a cash wagon in the role of a house. And the life of a young family after moving to a foreign city – when only a sofa and a crib of all furniture in the apartment. So the boxes can sometimes become a good help when arranging a (albeit temporary) summer house. Well, the owners of gorgeous cottages and so hardly watch this selection. You can’t call exquisite furniture from boxes, but sometimes such a solution can help cabinets, racks and shelter, perhaps the most common pieces of plastic boxes. The models are diverse – for clothes, and for books, and for children’s things, and for kitchen accessories. Boxes – the material is truly universal. Shelves and shelves from boxes can have the most different configuration by the way, it is not at all necessary that the boxes are the same and arranged in strict order. The main thing is that the finished furniture is convenient and durable. The severity of the forms is not a prerequisite if the boxes are not enough, you can combine them with boards. Just make sure that the design is quite reliable: not every box for such a solution is suitable. If the boxes are not enough, combine them with other materials of a stool, tables and a toggle chuckle of a chair, or at least a stool can do more than without a book cabinet, you must agree. But if there are strong boxes (such that the weight of a person is surely withstand), to make this simple piece of furniture very easily. It will not be difficult to make stools from boxes at all, and the design of a “drawer” stool, as you can see, allows options: tall or low, on or without legs, with plywood seats, wicker, soft … All in your hands! Stool from the box: options are possible, and if they got stools, why not make a table. Or a nightstand at least. To make a nightstand is no more difficult than a stool and even for a whole “furniture set” you can swing if there are enough boxes: you can not limit yourself to one stool, albeit not for home, but for a country party with friends, such furniture is quite suitable. The sofas and the bedspaper place is another necessary attribute of any home. No, you can relax on the floor, of course … But on the bed is still more convenient. Even if it is made of improvised materials – in our case from the boxes. Well, do not want a bed – make a sofa on the veranda so that there is where to sit in the break between country labors and worries. And the place to relax after country works can also be equipped with boxes of boxes. Just boxes … In the end, it is not at all necessary to make something complicated. To carefully store toys or clothes in the country, you can use boxes without any additional tricks. Well, almost … we don’t want to live like in a warehouse, right? A simple decor will help transform the unpretentious boxes of a simple decor made of fabric, ribbons, yarn or other improvised materials will help turn the usual – not too attractive, frankly, – a box into an independent and rather nice element of the situation. Of course, this is far from all that can be made of plastic boxes in the country, but I will stop, perhaps, adding only a few words to the proposed ideas on how not to make a mistake when choosing a material for their implementation. The boxes are different … This fact seems obvious, and you could not focus on it, but if you have not encountered such a container before, perhaps the information will be useful. The boxes are different first that should be taken into account is the purpose of the product. If you are going to store clothes or tools in the box, this, in principle, is not so important, but if you need a harvest container, you should make sure that the plastic from which the box is made for storing food products. The second point is the strength with which the safety of the use of plastic containers is directly related (especially in cases where it is planned to be used for other purposes). Even reliable in appearance, large boxes are made of rather fragile plastic, which easily split from a light blow, and thin and fragile, at first glance, are often able to withstand a considerable load, deforming, but without breaking. By the way, keep in mind: the plastic sometimes does not tolerate atmospheric effects – the material quickly loses its strength and begins to literally crumble, which can become an unpleasant surprise for you. Sharp fragments of plastic are dangerous! The main enemies of such boxes are frost and the sun. Be careful if you plan to use them outdoors. Keep in mind that not every plastic tolerates atmospheric effects well, however, I am sure that most summer residents have long been used by plastic boxes in the economy-and not only as a container.
