Items Reused in the Garden
- Compost is the ultimate reuse. I also use cedar logs from fallen trees to line some of my raised beds, old cattle panels arched across the beds for a trellis, crushed egg shells to protect some plants from cutworms, spent coffee grounds around my tomatoes and collected rain water from our roof to an underground cistern for 100% of our garden irrigation. Rainwater collection was the subject of a recent blog post on www.taylormaderanch.com/blog including pictures & procedures. ~TMR~

what do I re use in my garden?
- I sweep up all the leaves that fall in my back town house garden and put them in my front veggie patch. Also have a small compost and a worm bin...

coffee grounds
- Starbucks sets out bags of used coffee grounds for customers to take to fertilize their garden. Good for tomatoes and smells good, too.

egg shells
- if having a cutworm problem I put broken egg shells at the base of plants. It hurts them to crawl on and I bet it is good for the dirt too.
