Gardening Tips

 Garden Upcycling

You have all these ideas, but never enough money to make them come true. Have you thought of other ways of putting those projects together with materials that might not cost as much and can be upgraded for a fraction of the cost?

Due to the limited amount of yard space, you can start your kitchen garden using the remainder of concrete blocks, old pieces of wood, used construction buckets, short lengths of   four-inch pvc pipes and other materials from past home renovation and construction projects in your neighbourhood. Contact a neighbour or a friend and you will be surprised to see the amount of left over materials they have in their possession for disposal, which you can utilized to make your gardening projects a reality.  These materials when combined, can help you create awesome projects at home without spending a ton of money. In fact, I have just used some scraps of two by four wood which was taken from the framing of my roof to start my raised garden beds on the side of my home.
