Recycled uses for five things!

1. Re-use old gutters by turning them into seedling planters. Drill a few drainage holes, fill with compost and vermiculite and plant away. If you hang them....they are space savers.
2. Savvy seed storage...rinse and dry old prescription medicine bottles to store seeds from your garden. Mark them with permanent marker to identify seeds.
3. Milk jugs have many uses...cut into strips for plant markers. Or with the cap on, slice off the bottom and you have a handy potting-soil scoop.
4. Recycle paper bags by using them to compost peels, eggshels and other kitchen scraps. Throw the entire bay onto your compost heap when it is full.
5. Old window-blind slats make great plant markers too. Snip 8 inch lengths, cut one end to a point and write the plant name in permanent black ink....stick the pointed end into the soil and you'll always know what you've planted.
