Reuse in the Garden.
Personal Finance Advice has a great post on How To Reuse Items In Your Garden Rather Than Throwing Them Into The Trash.
As you all know by now, I’m a big fan of reuse and recycling in the garden, so I was rather excited about this!
The tip about putting crushed soda cans in the bottom of containers was particularly neat. I’m always looking for ways to fill up the bottom of pots so they aren’t as heavy. I tend to use styrofoam packing material (I try to avoid it, but sometimes I get a package with some.)
Also see Compost happens…and if it doesn’t consult an expert.
Thanks for the mention!
I used to use the styrofoam peanuts in my pots too, but cleaning them up for the next season was really a pain…. The pop cans are a much easier solution for me. Have also used upturned plastic pots with much success this season.
