When I planted melons in produce boxes I wrapped the sides with plastic trash bags. They lasted the season. From 2022 I used cattle panel trellis last year, did well.

It's probably too brittle, it's just disintegrating. However I have a 5 gallon waterer that failed (cheap cups, not as good as Rent-a-Coop brand) that I am just using to store an extension cord.

I made a new pond filter out of a cat litter bucket... Full build here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/what-did-you-do-in-the-garden-today.670277/post-27695385

What makes them think anyone would pay full price for damaged goods? :caf

Cattle panel trellis (from a leftover section): The shadows make it look bent, it's not.

About a month ago there was an announcement at church that they needed candy for the upcoming Easter egg hunt. I stopped at a Family Dollar on the way home and saw they had Peeps on sale, 2 for $3. Great! I grabbed two of the chicks and two of the bunnies. I was overcharged, and the cashier...

I just get the coupon on the receipt. Of all the dollar stores Dollar General is my favorite.

It's being a wise shopper. When inflation is high it makes sense to stock up on an item because it will cost more the next time you need it. When the last spare is opened (such as the last case of toilet paper) we buy another, so we don't run out.

I picked up a Bluetti battery generator with solar capabilities for power outages. It was on sale, and a friend whose advice I trust recommended it. It's charged up and in the shed, covered and waiting for a power outage. I plan to use it to keep both my refrigerator and freezer running if we...

I wish we had a Home Depot. We're stuck with Lowe's.

Wish we had a Home Depot.

I have a bag stuffed full of plastic grocery bags for cat box cleaning. I also have plastic grocery bags stuffed in Folgers coffee canisters in strategic locations around the backyard, for cleaning up after my dog. When I mail packages I use grocery bags as padding, to keep the contents from...

When I bake pumpkin pies I always spill a little of the custard while placing the pies in the oven. For years I have covered a cooky sheet with foil and placed it underneath the pies to catch drips. However, the foil didn't always stay in position. This year I thought I would try using...

And EVs are not only more expensive to buy, the cost of a replacement battery is more than a used car.

Try tying tomato plants to their stakes. I have an old sheet that I plan to use to tie my squash to supports this year.

FYI: adding CO2 to the atmosphere encourages plant growth, like trees and crops, which then produce oxygen and food. I thought the push was to plant trees to help reduce CO2 and clean air pollution? The Amazon forests were being destroyed, so plant more trees. But I recently read that in order...

I also buy local when it's available.

I, too, use no poisons in my gardens. I did resort to chemical and biological warfare against fire ants this year after being attacked in my own bedroom. I was already being attacked in my yard. I reuse plastic bags when I cannot find paper alternatives. About electric cars, there's a bit of...

I bought replacement lids, I think off eBay.
