Tip #7 Last Gardening one for awhile...I PROMISE!! Too great!!

This is a GREAT way to grow potatoes in a limited amount of space!!!

Plant your potatoes and once they start growing, put a tire on top and fill that with soil and plant another potatoe...Keeping repeating as many times as you want or can!!!

This works awesome if you live in an apartment or anywhere there is a limited amount of space for gardening!!!

Tip #6 Newspaper as compost!!

This one is easy because we all have spare newspaper that ends up in the garbage!!!
Instead of throwing it away, use it for compost in your yard!!

It will help you save on watering and you don't have to go out and BUY compost!

*~*~*Seed Exchange!!!*~*~*

*~*~* Seed Exchange *~*~*
Do you have flowers, bushes or shrubs which come back every year? For the most part, these plants usually have seeds (hence they are perennials...) anyways...If you have an overabundce of such a plant and would like to share...or perhaps exchange for other seeds...Make a post here and feel free to respond to others!!!


This is great for anyone just starting out and wanting to start their first garden...or anyone who is just kind-hearted enough to share!!!
Check back often or post if there is a certain seed you are looking for!

Tip #2 *~*GREAT*~* For the Coffee drinkers out there!!!!!!!!!!!!

This one is great because it is **FREE!**


For all the coffee drinkers of the world...and Starbuck's is proof there are MANY...


Instead of dumping your used coffee grounds in the trash...pour them on an old cookie sheet to dry, put them in an air lock container and sprinkle on your garden, flowers or lawn for FREE NaTurAL fertalizer!!!!


It works, but best of all, no chemicals are being added to your soil!!!
