I think I'd add a few more pots...and maybe an edible garden over there...and a native perennial plot in that other area... Yes, restraint is tough. And tidiness is even tougher--especially adjacent to an Oak forest in the fall. Good heavens, the leaves falling...hard time of year for me!Beth @ PlantPostingshttps://plantpostings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-42033179687905789382017-09-27T16:08:30.839-07:002017-09-27T16:08:30.839-07:00A little too neat for my taste.

I love the re-purposed look. It would make a great privacy wall near the pool.

People simply don't believe you! <br /><br />In order to function in a truly weather resistant way, Corten requires dry and wet cycles and air circulation. When you use Corten for planters, they will obviously be full of soil and plants, and won't get those required cycles of wet/dry conditions. Eventually, like all other steel, they will decay. So, for planters, you might as well use regular mild steel - which prices out at about half that of Corten. I wrote more about this on The Creative Flux a few years ago - you can read it here if you like. <br />https://thecreativeflux.wordpress.com/2015/02/11/what-exactly-is-cor-ten-and-is-it-worth-it/Anna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353084595743927603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-35924411339116458342017-09-27T09:04:11.136-07:002017-09-27T09:04:11.136-07:00The wide expanse of rusty steel is beautiful, but ...The wide expanse of rusty steel is beautiful, but a little too sterile. At first, I admired it, but then I thought the bench looked lonely. I would at least put a couple of pots, or a cluster of pots on each side of it. In time, I bet some self-sown plants, like maybe Mexican feather grass, will pop up in that DG. It's a nice shot!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-69050262995723714332017-09-27T06:19:10.522-07:002017-09-27T06:19:10.522-07:00Love both those materials.
