Thanks Michelle,
The soda pop planters are working well for me. Too well I fear as it is still a month off until our garden soil is warm enough to put these babies in ground. I will try to cover a spot with some black plastic that I have to speed up the warming. Or maybe I will have to make some new larger planters.
... Hmmm, a friend just gave me some pails that cat litter came in…

Comment by Jessica Soulliere on May 4, 2009 at 4:29pm - I keep all my trays if I have to buy plants from the nursery - this year, I gave a friend of mine half of my trays so she could start her own seeds with them for her first garden.

Comment by Glenn Fletcher on May 4, 2009 at 4:23pm - I used to get used coffee grounds from Starbucks. Each saturday morning i would collect about 10lbs of the stuff., which is an excellent source of acidic nitrogen. Great for strawberrys and potatoes, but you need to add lime if using in the compost heap.

- If you have photos of how you are using your recyclables, you should post them in this group under "Post Your Photos Here!" What wonderful ideas we can all share.

Then go back and highlight the link text.
Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.
Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message. Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
