Any suggestions for reusing an old bicycle helmet, please?

My first thought was hanging basket or a novelty pot holder, if you can prop it up with something, to hold a pot of herbs, or sweet or hot peppers.

A fruit bowl.

A small trug

Prop it up a little and put in the garden for a frog house.

A nest box, robins may like it

You can paint it a different colour.

"Styrofoam can be recycled but because there is no large scale market for it , styrofoam is usually not included with the usual paper and plastic pickup recycling given by the city. A city will however have a pickup and drop-off locations."

I really can't think of any useful way to use an old helmet - other than for something "artsy" and depending on your tastes it may not even be useful for that.

the hanging basket idea is good but what about maybe using at evidence that helmets do work! a free website could be made (www.piczo.com) or just tell younger siblings about wearing one!

Hope it helps!

i think its great you want to recycle this in a gardening way.

my choices would be

spring onions

lettuce

rocket

lambs lettuce

coriander

parsley

for next year what about strawberries or hanging tomatoes....

or you could prop it up on some large pebbles and use it as a wildlife sanctury for hedgehogs, birds, spiders etc

good luck and happy gardening.

I am a Cyclist and the best thing to do with a damaged helmet is to never use it again. THROW IT AWAY!

possibly a bed pan--- a door stop ---- a frisby? ---throw at pests lurking in your garden IE- cats pigeons dogs children , anyway good luck

Too bad it's damaged,my dog could use one when he skates his ramp.

what about drilling holes in it and using it as a colender.

smudge.
