This is my first year at giving this a try, and I have planted way too much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550384224965851130.post-5271553663202876992011-04-18T22:11:12.378-06:002011-04-18T22:11:12.378-06:00Great mention, Kerry.

Here are the deets for those who haven't gone to the ReUse Centre in Edmonton: <br />10004 103A Avenue<br />Edmonton, AB T5J 3T9<br />(780) 442-4380<br /><br />My only beef with that place is I come home with a lot more than I planned, then take most of it back because I didn't find the time to turn 12 large coffee tins into a percussion station for the kids (etc.etc.)Carissa Haltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01273164231288148297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550384224965851130.post-64024743551335546832011-04-18T13:07:09.402-06:002011-04-18T13:07:09.402-06:00Ok, so I am now addicted to your blog - thanks for...Ok, so I am now addicted to your blog - thanks for the great ideas, tips and inspiration!<br /><br />In the past few years I have found LOTS of different seedling homes at the Edmonton reuse center. Absolutely terrific selection - and if you collect for a few projects when you go the $5 cost is really quite reasonable (I haven't purchased gift wrap, or baskets since the reuse center opened).<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the tip!kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655088631485772223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550384224965851130.post-85653565804317914512011-04-18T00:17:57.645-06:002011-04-18T00:17:57.645-06:00Nice idea for the toilet roll ends, Ashley!

I'm going to try that with my cucumber seedlings in a couple weeks.<br /><br />Holly- so expensive! But something about the clever, efficient gadgetry of that catalogue just makes me want to buy buy buy (everything but the pot roller!)Carissa Haltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01273164231288148297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550384224965851130.post-17994113711080985082011-04-17T21:11:46.272-06:002011-04-17T21:11:46.272-06:00What a great idea!

I haven't planted the paper into the garden because I wasn't sure it would decompose very fast, but from now on I will!<br />I also saw (but haven't tried yet) that you can use the cardboard toilet-paper tubes, saved up from the year, cut and folded. But I'll bet they won't biodegrade quite as quickly.<br />Hmmm.Ashley @ Root And Twighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04318142287266832407noreply@blogger.com
