Why buy something new when you may have the pieces laying around in your garden or going to scrap at the local big-box store, its time to get creative to limit waste and save materials from the landfill.
With all the waste that goes on in today's "disposable" society, salvaging something unused to re-purpose it into something you need, not only saves you money but helps keep the earth that little bit greener too!
My vow...
To re-use and salvage materials for ALL my garden projects.
Some great salvaged and re-purposed things I wish to make this year...
Wooden pallet potting benchSalvaged wood raised veggie beds
Compost bin

And anything else I can turn a pallet into!
