I transformed my garden using a cheap buy from Home Bargains and a clever cardboard trick – it cost under £10
A SAVVY homeowner has been flooded with praise after revealing how she transformed her garden on a budget.
Green-fingered Becky proved that you haven’t got to fork out a small fortune to make a difference to your outdoor space…as she created a “simple DIY flower tower” using bargain buys from Home Bargains.
And perhaps the best part of all?
It cost just £10.
In a clip shared to TikTok (@becksveggiepatch), Becky demonstrates exactly how she made the striking feature.
“Make this 3 tier Flower Tower from Home Bargains for under £10 – including the pots AND soil,” she says.
She begins by placing screwed up paper and cardboard at the bottom of one of the flower pots, before putting a brick on top and then filling it up with soil.
Next, Becky stands a second flower pot on top of the brick and once again, fills it up with soil.
After repeating the process for a third time with another flower pot, she then sets to work potting flowers all around the edges to create a stunning new garden feature.
Alongside the clip, she penned: “Putting cardboard at the bottom of your pot means spending less on soil – although you don’t have to, you can just use soil.

“Make sure your pots have good drainage.
“Check to make sure your pots are level as you go and adjust accordingly.”

A third praised: “Class!”
Meanwhile, a fourth enthused: “Brilliant idea!”
