Garden 2026
Recycling
There are lots of ways to garden without spending a lot of money. One of those ways is to recycle what you already have. Example: I bought a new laundry hamper - no longer needed the old hamper. So I took it outside to the garden and filled it full of dirt and planted radish seeds. So far, so good!
I also had some laundry baskets that I no longer needed. I lined the inside of the baskets with fabric and filled them with dirt and planted zucchini. They are doing well!
We had some crates that were originally bought to be used as nests for the chickens. That didn't work out . . . so I lined them with cardboard, filled with dirt and planted onions!
An old pot that is no longer used in the kitchen can be used to scoop out the dirt from a bag of potting soil. (April 18, 2026)
A corn stalk was falling over - toilet paper holder to the rescue! (April 20, 2026)
Lastly, one of the tomato plants was falling over and I didn't have any more tomato cages, so I used an old mop handle and a zip tie. (April 20, 2026)
Recycling isn't just for bottles and cans - it is for the garden too!
