Recycled satellite dish
Last year about this time I posted a pic of the modified satellite however the plant was rather scrawny. The Jasmine has had a year to grow and I would like to share this bit of Spring with everyone.

That is the first time I have seen a West Virginia State Flower with actual vegetation. Looks great.

Nice trellis!
Here's my satellite dish recycling. And some porch a friend took off her house, and some broken concrete from the pasture where an old barn once stood. This whole thing cost me Very Little.
Recycling Rocks!

I saw one that was made into a large fish pond once, with waterfall and everything. Worked very well and looked great!

That is beautiful. I have mine filled with water, the goats and llama use it for a water trough, and there are a few goldfish/minnows in it. Have been given another one, don't know when they will bring it here....will put it in the garden and make another fish pond with it. I fill the holes with liquid nails, has held up quite well.

chickenista, have you ever grown Luffa? It is a neat plant and would do great on your trellis.

These are some great ideas! I love the trellis, and would love to find an antenna to make a gazebo with; that gazebo looks awesome!

Those are awesome
I flipped mine the other way and use it as a large planter for flowers each year. It makes weeding very easy as it is up off of the ground and easy to mow around. I have another one but don't know where to put it.

Super ideas! I have one of the large mesh dishes out in the overhang of the barn, wondering what to do with it. I was going to flip it over and put small legs on it, use it in the chicken pen for a shady spot for them, but now I have visions of a trellis with wisteria.......

Wow, I have both a huge old sat dish AND an old roof antenna out behind the barn! Now I know what to do with them. 1 bean (or flower, maybe) trellis, and one roof, coming up!

Agmantoo et Cheribelle,
Nice going.
I could envision Agmantoo's idea supporting a grape vine...

Rocky, I have a different and much larger trellis for muscadine grapes. The variety of muscadines I grow are scuppernongs. This grape is and its production are my favorite item I grow. Next time I get the battery eating camera I have out, I will take a photo and post the grape pic. In case you are not familiar with muscadines you can see the type I have on the main page here. http://www.isons.com/ These are great people to do business with and they have a quality product.

I LOVE this gazebo, and will now be searching Craigslist for a Huge old Satellite antenna, so I can have one too!
