NEXTSTEP-Creating A Garden With Recycled Goods
I was browsing through pictures today when I saw this image posted by James Ream
I now plan to gather recycled goods around my area and try to start a local garden. I think it will be a good experience and will benefit the community and the planet since we are not just adding more to the local landfills.

Nice, you'd be amazed the things you can turn into gardens. A raised bed can be made from a pushed over old shelf unit and some plastic bags, or an old bathtub:

Hannah, I love your idea, and I'm happy to have inspired part of it. Remember that many people view change hesitantly. Gardens unless they are thoughtfully planned and carefully maintained, can decrease property value. (this is how your neighbors may view your project)
I encourage you when using recycled products to be mindful of aesthetics. If your art-garden looks great, and works well, others will join. I have no doubt with your background and the support of community, evoke and local, you'll make beautiful place that other will emulate.

A garden can take less maintenance than a lawn, especially in terms of water and energy. They do require some time weeding, but they're totally worth it.
But yeah, make it pretty, your neighbors might not appreciate a junk-yard garden next door!

Yes I have already checked with my neighbors since I didn't want complaints. I also am getting a great response to it so far many people I know want to help me with it. Hopefully it will turn out nicely.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
