Thrifty Container Gardening

RE: Thrifty Container Gardening Post By teritreehugger (Guest Post) (06/26/2008) There is a recycling program in our city, so the gardenning centers tosses used pots in bins. When I go grocery shopping i raid the bin in that store's gardenning center. I've bought few pots. Keep worms in a bin and feed them vegetable kitchen waste. Next spring you will have a nice (and free) bucket of amazing compost. I too am grateful to all who offered their advice. There are some great ideas here.

I have used them in the bottom of containers for drainage.

I have had tomatos all summer (the ones the squirells dont get first) and they work great!
