TV sets make good plant stands for my vegetable garden containers. I used old washtubs and enamel cookware for planting herbs, beets and cabbages. A worn out fiberglass canoe made a fine onion, garlic and spinach bed. A wood bookcase on its side planted in rows of carrots and swiss chard made a raised bed and keeps the rabbits out. Even old tires work well with marigolds and trailing nasturtiums. It really cleaned up my yard and it's useful and decorative. P.S. Broken microwave ovens keep your garden tools dry and handy right where you need them. dalai mama - 5/14/2009 11:41:50 PM   You must have an account to make a comment (it's free!) Already a member?

Website Translation Use a gas grill instead of charcoal Propane is made from oil, but so is charcoal. The lighter fluid used on charcoal also contributes to the problem, and the burning of charcoal releases more carbon dioxide than burning propane gas (carbon per Btu of gas is about one-third that of charcoal) There are 152 actions on this website that you can take to help save the earth!

It works well. It has kicked in many times when I got pulled away from the computer. You can also set the timings for work and non-work hours." hbomb7 on 7/4/2009 about the action Download software that reduces your computer power drain   Subscribe to RSS headline updates from:
