Always good to get ideas, enjoyed hearing yours :)<br />Julie-AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155811529104728951.post-640221329585017382011-10-12T12:24:50.839+11:002011-10-12T12:24:50.839+11:00thanks Anonymous...It would be lovely if you leave...thanks Anonymous...It would be lovely if you leave a first name with your comment though...so I could thank you with your name....all good hints there too.nellymaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00290358658245310632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155811529104728951.post-13422966274903933292011-10-07T02:16:14.872+11:002011-10-07T02:16:14.872+11:00some plant nurseries in the Netherlands have bins ...some plant nurseries in the Netherlands have bins for unwanted plantpots, the black and brickcolour ones you buy them in. Clients are allowed to take out for free whatever they need for their seedlings and plants, they are emptied to be recycled by shredding, it would be to costly to totally bug- and diseaseproof them for commercial use, when full. For all your readers: it is wise to check the temperature in all your plantingpots, wormnurseries etc. they get very high (above 50 C) in the sun, just an old floorrug at the sunside will reduce the heat. Some people put plants in those foodoildrums of about 8 litres from Asian restaurants, these heat up even more, so insulate these very well or make some wooden crate around them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155811529104728951.post-52462853459719429782011-06-29T20:35:26.496+10:002011-06-29T20:35:26.496+10:00Iduna: thanks for commenting on my blog, I didn...Iduna: thanks for commenting on my blog, I didn't know about the light globes being recycled by Ikea...thanks for sharing that tip...unfortunately my local Ikea is almost two hours away....But you have me wondering now, who I could find locally to recycle the light-globes....thanks, another one that doesn't need to go in the bin.nellymaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00290358658245310632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155811529104728951.post-40414725485161993532011-06-28T19:00:34.905+10:002011-06-28T19:00:34.905+10:00I don't know how close you live near an Ikea b...I don't know how close you live near an Ikea but I know the one near me also recycle light globes along with batteries. If you want to stop your compost worms from cooking in summer just freeze some 600ml plastic soft drink bottles full of water over night and place on the top of the worm farm.

Paint to glass, chemicals to tins. I fill my van up at least twice a week. Sometimes only once. I also recycle ink cartridges from printers. They pay you to recycle them at office supply stores here. You may look into that there. The bakshi bucket is something I would love to get started. I need to do that!!! I love that you can take classes for all these great ideas. I have not found any thing like that in Texas. Thanks for the pictures. MelissaKids and Canning Jarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794388845414644018noreply@blogger.com
