Great stuff! My son is worried that I'll become an old bag lady as I often find discarded items & take them home to repurpose. I just can't stand waste either. The things that people throw out is unbelievable. So much of it could've been repurposed. We are a very wasteful society. I try to do my bit to save items from landfill. Keep up the good work. 😂👍💕
Thank you! Wow this is a horribly delayed response, trying to do anything while raising a young baby is challenging. Thank you for watching and the sweet comment. :)
Not only things that can be repurposed, I see stuff in great condition, I've found brand new stuff with tags still on them, I also live in a city with military bases and I've seen furniture galore, " I realize people also get evicted and all their stuff is thrown out but it is typically the entire contents of a house" nice stuff, was a nice bedroom set and leather sofa set thrown out that I was going to pick up but it was raining and by the time I got my friend and went back the trash guys were loading it up. We definitely need a better way of getting rid of unwanted item's like this rather than it going to the trash dump.
i love squirrels, but they are really smart about getting the food they want. I feed my squrriels & it helps them not get my seedlings. With whatever u cover ur seedings with u have to make sure the holes are not big enough for the squirrels to reach thru & still grab a seedling, i use tulle. But u have to weigh the edges down too becuz squrriels learn to lift the tulle.
A women after my own heart! I reuse all my plastic too for gardening it help reduce our carbon imprint. I love the cardboard idea. Never thought to put it in water, such a good idea!!!
I do the same, already. Great thinking. Bio environmentalist applaud you for sure. The onion bag is new for me, thanks. I might run a few bags threw a sewing machine to make full sheet...zip tie that to a bird cage, to put my precious cuttings...mewhahaha!
I collect glass jars & their lids from my friends, i make sure to give them a good scrubbing & i use many of them for storage for dehydrate garden foods. And i also use these jars & lids for lacto fermenting vegies with a plastic sheet like a spagetti bag used to help seal the lid to the jar.
i use colored printed cardboard like cereal boxes etc., but if the box has a really gloss or waxy shine then i usually don't keep it for gardening becuz the chemical in the gloss or waxy shine don't break down well for the garden.
I freaking love you!! i use my friend's youtube login, but im a girl whose nickname is SQUIRREL!! LOVE YOUR REPURPOSE IDEAS,,,, I live for this kinda stuff!
Thank you! I was pregnant, then had a baby in the pandemic, then moved across the country to Massachusetts! I'll be making more videos, just a lot of big life changes in a short time :)
YES, EXACTLY RIGHT ! Ppl think I hoard what they think are useless items & packaging cos I'm a gardner. Its so nice to find a kindred spirit in this
Rock on!
I like the tip about soaking cardboard for the compost
GREAT ideas, as someone who is a low waster and gardener this was awesomeeeee.

Right - gardening taught me how to live without waste. Our household produces so little garbage compared to most!

there is no waste in nature and gardening is definetly a path to learning that from her
Absolutely!
Wow. You might've just saved my seedlings from squirrels. They eat everything in the garden. I wonder if I should bury cups down and poke holes?

Good job. So I'm not the only one
Not at all! :)

Yes! Especially since we're ordering so much more these days it makes me feel not quite so wasteful to add the cardboard to the compost pile.

Great idea!
I hate getting rid of glass jars. Any tips on repurposing them? Thanks.

Wow thanks for the help
ahh i love this !!! thank you !
Its the old garden hose i need help.recycling into usuable things.
Love......love.....love.... this.....
Thank you, Joseph!
Love this. About the cardboard, its just what I need to do with mine. Do you use only brown cardboard or do you also use colored/printed cardboard?
i use colored printed cardboard like cereal boxes etc., but if the box has a really gloss or waxy shine then i usually don't keep it for gardening becuz the chemical in the gloss or waxy shine don't break down well for the garden.
Most def r.i.p OSH. That was my favorite hardware/garden store... they were so helpful in there compared to home depot lol 😪
It was the best, I was GUTTED when it shut down!
