Compost Leaves and Plants as Gifts

Compost Those Leaves

Raked-up leaves make great compost and are good to dig into your garden now to enrich the soil for next year's crops.

Grow Plants for Gifts

What do you do with all of those plant pots that you have stored? I have a windowsill in my basement bathroom that is great for growing plants. I take pieces of my household and outdoor plants and begin enough new ones to fill that bathroom sill. These are my give away plants. As they get bigger I plan who I will give them to. Last week alone I saved money by being able to give 2 away as thank you gifts. Wrap them up in some cellophane with ribbons and they look store bought. For the small price of some soil, I have free gifts.
