Recycle reuse for your garden!

Coffee can herb garden...I like to start my garden a soon as possible but that also means that there is a chance of frost so I make everything portable. I also like to recycle things. I save coffee cans, oatmeal canisters, plastic take out food containers to start seeds. The coffee containers are the cardboard ones they are heavily coated and really do stand up to weather well. I use them for my worm farms too...another post. I drill a couple holes in the bottom and add either rock or a coffee liner I put the lid on the bottom  and then fill it up with composted garden soil. You can paint them if you like but I like my cans to show what was in them. I have a whole crop herbs scattered around where every there is room. If you use a metal can and like the label spray it with a clear acrylic spray paint or it'll wash away. I love the look of Andy Warhol soup cans with basil and thyme in them!
