The sofa is made with UV protected rattan weaving - so you don't have to worry about it get damaged by the sun - and is super easy to assemble. I made a DIY fence for £68 with pallets from Facebook Marketplace - it gives more privacy & people say it's 'fantastic' However, the Aldi buy landed on shelves on April 27, and is only available while stocks last, so you better hurry and nab yours quick. B&M fans have also been raving about a classy £12 feature adding an elegant twist to their garden designs.

The elegant grey plant pots cost only £11.99 and are perfect for DIY beginners. Garden features that add the most value to a house A well-kept garden can add anywhere between 5-20% to the value of a property. carried out a study and consulted 36 estate agents, garden designers and property professionals from across the UK. And the experts revealed the garden feature which adds the most value to a property is a shed. Shed - 82% Patio or paving - 76% Secure fencing, walls or gates - 72% Outdoor lighting - 66% Sturdy decking - 62% Water features eg. fountain or pond - 58% Modern garden furniture - 54% Artificial lawn/grass - 40% All you have to do is drill a few holes in the bottom of the pot and whack some bricks and cardboard in it to give the plants some air to breathe. Then top with a healthy sprinkling of soil, transfer your plants from your crusty old baskets or pots into the new swanky stone grey pots, and they should shoot into full bloom. Home hack influencer Stephanie Larbey enthusiastically demonstrated the process. Proudly prancing around in her husband's bright green Crocs, she said: 'I'm actually going to use the azalea I've already got, it gets really beautiful white flowers in the summer. 'See what I mean about these baskets needing updating.' Repeating the process, she rehoused a different spring flower: 'This lavender wasn't doing well in its pot, so I actually bought some top-up lavender from B&M to help it on its way. 'And then it's onto pot number three for this one. I bought viburnum from B&M, and for this one (the smallest pot), I just filled it with some soil and stones.'

Install a water butt Water butts are a large container that sits in your garden and collects rainwater. This water can then be used to water plants, top up ponds or water features and wash the patio and other garden furniture. The natural outdoor water could help you save money on your water bills as you are less likely to use a hose during the summer months. 2. Use solar powered or LED lighting Solar powered lights get their energy from the sunlight in the day so they can illuminate your garden at night. They're easy to install and are a great choice for keeping electricity bills low. LED lights are another option that are long lasting and energy efficient. 3. Grow your own salad and vegetables Growing your own salad and vegetables will not only save you money but it can also feel really rewarding. Things like lettuce, radishes, and spinach are all fairly easy to grow. 4. Upcycle waste and rubbish Get creative and start upcycling items instead of throwing them away. Use sticks from ice lollies as plant tags or turn old watering cans and wheelbarrows into planters instead of buying new pots. Once you get creative the ways to upcycle are endless. 5. Start composting Start composting your kitchen scraps like vegetable peelings and coffee grounds and combine them with garden waste such as leaves and grass clippings to create a nutrient rich compost. This could reduce your need to spend money on expensive fertilisers.
