Harvesting parsley, chives, basil, rosemary and other fresh seasonings to give a special touch to your recipes is not the privilege of those who live at home. Just a little corner on the balcony of the apartment or even on the kitchen window to set up a mini herb garden. Thinking about taking advantage of what we already have at home, the Brazilian Association of Steel Packaging (Abea\u00e7o) teaches a simple step-by-step process to reuse steel cans. Check it out below!<\/p>\n
Materials:<\/strong><\/p>\n -Universal adhesive; Way of doing:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1- Remove the label from the cans and apply a layer of primer spray paint. As steel is not porous, it is necessary to apply the primer, facilitating the fixation of the paint. Let it dry well.<\/p>\n 2. Apply two coats of acrylic paint to the entire surface of the can. This color will be the background. Let it dry well.<\/p>\n 3. Apply glue to inserts.<\/p>\n 4. Attach the inserts to the top and bottom of the steel can and allow to dry. It is important to fix the tablet at the bottom with a distance from where the lid that will work as a plate will be placed.<\/p>\n 5. With the help of the stencil, start decorating the cans with acrylic paint in different colors. After the paint is well dry, apply a layer of spray varnish to finish and waterproof. Fit the plastic cap to the bottom of the can. It will serve as a plate, retaining moisture.<\/p>\n 6. Now just plant the seeds, seedlings or use the can as a cachep\u00f4 for seedlings bought in supermarkets and garden centers. If you prefer to plant seeds or seedlings directly in the can, make a hole in the bottom to drain the irrigation water. Inside the can put a layer of expanded clay. Cover with a drainage blanket and fill the remainder with good quality soil.<\/p>\n Source: house and garden magazine<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Harvesting parsley, chives, basil, rosemary and other fresh seasonings to give a special touch to your recipes is not the privilege of those who live at home.
