The most beautiful ideas to imitate

Pre-treat the wagon wheel

Whether your wagon wheel is made of wood or iron, so that it will last you a long time, you can treat it before you plant it. The best way to do this is to paint it with a weatherproof varnish or glaze. Otherwise the wood will gradually disintegrate or the iron will rust. If you like this vintage effect, you can of course leave the wagon wheel untreated.
Place your treated or untreated wagon wheel on healthy soil without plants, grass or stones and fill in the spaces with good garden soil.

The herb wheel: a classic

Create a mini herb garden in your wagon wheel! Put a different herb in each space. Herbs need a lot of sun, so you should place the wagon wheel in a sunny spot. In addition, many herbs are not hardy, so the fun lasts year-round.

The rock garden in the wagon wheel

Create a mini wild west landscape. To do this you need:

• different succulents or cacti (are not winter hardy)
• mini grasses if desired
• a few small roots or nice bits of wood
• Stones of various sizes
• and pebbles.

Place the small succulents or cacti with a little space and decorate the spaces with larger stones and wood. Finally, cover the earth with pebbles.

The vertical wagon wheel garden

Those who prefer to hang up the wagon wheel can plant climbing plants on it. Climbing plants that remain small are best for this, such as

• Black-eyed Susan
• Clematis
• Winches
• or staying small Climbing roses.

Fruits and vegetables in the wagon wheel

Of course, the spaces in between in the wagon wheel do not offer too much space, so that only small vegetables can be grown here, such as lettuce, spinach or even radishes or carrots. Strawberries also feel right at home in the wagon wheel.

The flowery wagon wheel

The subdivision of the wagon wheel can be used excellently to create color effects. For example, you can alternate purple and yellow Pansy plants. A motley mess is of course also conceivable.
