We started this project with both of us liking gardening. It has grown into a challenge to keep cost down by utilizing already owned items, no pesticides and homegrown veggies and tons of flowers.
We will be blogging these inventive recycles and welcome suggestions.
Wheelbarrows are expensive and the one we were using was small, wobbly wheels and a rusted hole in middle. Solved the hole with garbage bag but we needed a better way to transport items. A Fold up grocery cart and a reuse of laundry hamper that fits in the cart. We now have 2 inventive recycling buggies and 1 rusted wheelbarrow which we still use.
The size of the leaf piles were huge and no way our wheelbarrow or carts could handle a huge quantity so Lisa grabbed a large tarp which we covered then folded and both us hauled away a substantial amount to the compost heap multiple times.
NOTE: The contributions of plants and cuttings from friends and family is much appreciated. Yesterday we planted 2 chocolate soldier plants and coleus in one of the round beds. A fuchsia will be grown in a pot and tomato plants which will be planted once we decide on bed for tomatoes. Full bag of tiger lilies and assorted surprise bulbs again much appreciated and if you hear of anyone dividing plants or giving them away, let us know we will pick up.
