Post a CommentGreat project. :)
Here's something I can do for gardeners that doesn't require me to plant or grow anything!
Great article. Great pictures. Explains the process very well. I knew our local newspaper should be good for Something.
Great pictorial/tutorial. I use the NYTimes..as a birdcage liner ;-)
Clever idea!
Really great idea, I have tons of newspaper laying around, starting tomorrow (when I 'force those bulbs!') Cheers.
cool! I love green ideas!
What a clever idea! I use an eggshell for my tomato plants. They love the extra calcium too.
I've gone to a local school and made these with a class. That was fun. I have one of those wooden pot forms.
Wow thanks, I'll start saving some newspapers for this!
