Bluey goes to the recycle shop at the refuse centre(referrred to in Australia as 'The Tip') At the tip shop he picks up old swimming pool sand filters. He cuts the tops off and I have a large fruit tree pot and with the top flipped over I have a shallow bowl pot. He also purchases 44 gallon drums and cuts them in half for my pot garden.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-42256736455334111542018-01-19T18:44:23.039-05:002018-01-19T18:44:23.039-05:00I always save and clean out candle jars.

For my private use, I use them to store my dehydrated herbs and homemade seasonings e.g., taco seasoning mix, chicken rub, etc. We use A LOT of parsley, basil, oregano, etc. which I grow in our garden. The rubber seals on those jars keep the herbs nice and dry.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293012592263272563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-67042557853816371492018-01-19T12:00:40.225-05:002018-01-19T12:00:40.225-05:00Oh my goodness.
