Earth Friendly Garden Tips

Friendly Garden tips.

As seen in this thread in Jamies group, and others
http://www.care2.com/c2c/groups/disc.html?gpp=20938&pst=1250715&saved=1

 

Recycle by making Newspapers into biodegradable pots for your seedlings.

This is messy, but fun. Strip newspapers and make paste from flour and water.

First put a few layers of plain wet strips around the plastic container you are using for the mold. Don't paste these. Then start at the bottom of the container and work your way to the sides with a thin layer of paste. Build it up really good, and let it dry.

Poke small holes in the bottom and side, a voila' you've got yourself a pot for seedlings. Just do not over water until you have planted the seedling in the ground.

I made a fancy one on accident.


Homemade Pot

 

Make your own dirt.

Don't throw away those leaves in the fall.

Toss them in a black bag and fill them with water. Shredded leaves compost quicker. Best place to leave them is a sunny location, but not necessary.

Wait anywhere from 2 - 4 days. Make sure all of the leaves are soaked.

Poke tiny holes in the bottom to let the water slowly drain.

Check on them the following Spring. If they're dry, add water, but you may already have fresh, black, dirt that is full of nutrients for your plants.

Some leaves make dirt quicker than others.

Happy gardening!

Your friend, Electra

Children's stories that teach
Feb 24, 2008
Hi everyone,

     I have this set up so that my Book can be sold as a Full 12 Chapters, or by the Chapter. Chapter one is free.

     I am in need of Reviews and ratings on each of them. If you could pick something that appeals to you and rate it, I will gladly rate something of yours.

This is 'Bug's Lives' and The Rainy Night in The Gardens'

     Help your Child learn with e books that teach Manners, Morals, working together, and many other Family values.
     Disaster strikes in the hearts and homes of these hapless bugs, but the main Bugs as well as many of the others learn many Life lessons, and never give up on each other or themselves. Cooperation becomes the key to survival. Courage, Character,Faith, working together, helping each other, and accepting the others for their differences are but a few.
     Making friends and believing in themselves are only a few of the steps taken by these Characters to make their Dreams come true, and begin on the Journey we call life, to build a better future by following their Dreams to reach their Destiny.

To see more Titles, listen to my Audio Previews,or to purchase each Chapter individually go to:
