Good afternoon, my reader. Residents of St. Petersburg are calm about broken umbrellas, as windy weather with rain is a common thing for them. And not only them: in the life of any person there were moments when the spokes of an umbrella were broken by the wind. What, then, do they do with him? Yes, it is thrown away. But in vain. There are many ways to use this umbrella in your garden. Let's consider the best options.

Manufacturing of oversleeves or knee pads
All umbrellas are made from durable and waterproof fabric. It is these properties that make it useful in the country. For example, sleeves and knee pads can be sewn, since it is easy to get the sleeves or knees on the pants dirty while working in the garden.
For this, elements in the form of cylinders are sewn, and an elastic band is threaded from below and from above to fix the product on the arm or leg. Knee pads are convenient to use when weeding: you can kneel down on the ground without getting your pants dirty. It is recommended to wear oversleeves for work in the morning or after rain. This will prevent wet leaves from wetting your clothes.
Creation of a designer flower bed
This method is suitable for those gardeners who like to arrange interesting and unusual flower beds on the site. To do this, you need to fix the umbrella in the ground, in the place where it comes into contact with the ground, cut a hole and plant the plants in it.
Another option is to make small drainage holes in the umbrella, pour soil inside and plant flowers. Such a flower bed will be portable. You just need to make sure that the plants have enough ground level.
Drying garlic or onions
In this case, only the frame of the broken umbrella is used, which can help in drying the onion or garlic before long-term storage. To do this, the crop must be tied in bunches or woven into braids and attached to the spokes of an umbrella, which is recommended to be hung in a convenient place by the handle.
Fish drying device
This requires:
- open an umbrella;
- fix the fish from below under the dome;
- cover the entire system with gauze.
Now flies and other insects will not penetrate under the canopy, and the air will freely go inside. Such a device can be used to protect plants and even children on the playground from insects. Only in this case, you need to stretch the gauze wider, and attach it around the perimeter.
Garter plants
The frame of an unnecessary umbrella can be used as a support for climbing garden plants. Only it needs to be improved a little. To do this, you need to take a twine or wire and braid the frame with them to increase the supporting elements. After that, the umbrella is fixed in the ground or directly under the roof of the greenhouse. Thus, the plants will be comfortable to trail.
As a result of the above, it becomes clear that a broken umbrella is not such an unnecessary thing in the household. You can pick berries in it, and protect plants from the sun!
