Week 10 marks the last post of our garden ideas on a budget series.

We have saved one of our favourite cost-effective garden ideas as our last, which is to upcycle simply.

You can give old and tired furniture in your home a new lease of life outdoors. Old sinks and dressing tables can be turned into quirky planters, or you could use pallets to make planting tables, furniture and much more.

'Wooden pallets aren’t just cheap and easy to get hold of, they’re also incredibly versatile in your garden,' says Jack Sutcliffe of Power Sheds. '

Take a wooden pallet, fasten it upright on your shed wall, and you’ve got yourself a space to store your garden tools. This type of solution may seem a little more rough and ready, but it’s cheap and very effective.'
