Tin Can Planter

If you're one of the many folks who got into plants last year, this is a creative method to use your recycling to help your plants thrive. Use empty, clean, tin cans at the bottom of a planter to not only fill some of the empty space but to also create better drainage for your plant's root system. Drainage helps prevent root rot and the cans actually help keep some oxygen in the soil.
