One Man's Garbage is Another Man's Garden

 

Our local Craigslist had an advertisement for free wood pallets and wood scraps at a construction dump site.  It was pretty much self-serve as you can see.

So with my 15-month old cheering me on from his rear-facing car seat, I got busy.  Not only were there wood scraps in the dumpster, there were also used soda cups, cigarette butts, and other varieties of assorted trash.  Oh happy day!

For my valor, I was rewarded with the spoils you see here.

These materials meant for waste yielded two square foot gardens for growing vegetables and one pallet garden for growing herbs.  Trash to treasure!
