Kitchen sponges become garden architecture at Create & Grow DIY

An older tutorial builds tiered hexagonal planters from cement-soaked sponge blocks, complete with drainage holes.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

I Turned Cheap Sponges Into This Modern Planter! 😱🌿

Create & Grow DIY starts with yellow kitchen sponges and ends with a small concrete planter garden. The builder dips the blocks into cement, casts a hexagonal base with a drainage hole, then stacks the textured bricks in staggered courses. Soil, flowers and succulents turn the geometry into a garden.

There were no new uploads this week, but that sponge transformation carries the strongest daily momentum among the channel's highlighted older projects. Close behind is "DIY Concrete Planter Using Just ONE Balloon! 😱🌷", which uses a pinched balloon and wire mesh to form a connected pair of planting spaces, finished with colorful paint and pink tulips. These are two very different routes from household supplies to flower pots.

The wider library added about 120,000 views over the week. Subscribers stayed unchanged at 219,000, while daily viewing is running below its usual level. Nearby in size, Reserve Home is having a much busier spell, with daily views more than twice its typical pace; Teulu Tribe's weekly viewing is closer to Create & Grow DIY's.

A bamboo outdoor shower is also drawing attention in the archive, trading concrete geometry for a curved privacy screen, river stones and a matte-black rain shower. Even without a new project, the backyard has several distinct corners to explore.
