Repurposing in the Garden

One thing I've always leaned toward is independence. 

I enjoy figuring out how to make do with what I have.

I guess it's the homesteader in me.

This used to be a water jug.

Now it works well as a scoop for the soil mix we use in the garden.

It holds a good amount, so adding the mix to pots

or the veggie garden is a breeze.

Another is used as a watering can.

The spout on one side can be used for slow watering

and the open side when you need a good deluge.

This is the twine that came with the pine straw mulch.

Why not reuse it for the square-foot garden

or staking tall plants?

The best tools God ever made.

Enjoy your Labor Day!
