One man's trash...

February 22nd, 2008 at 05:58 pm

One of our neighbors moved out last weekend...she left lots of nice clay pots with dead plants in them outside her house to be taken by the garbage truck...we,er, recycled her pots...I gave niece $10 to buy plants and soil... so, now we have a "renovated" garden, courtesy of our former neighbor!

(she even left 3 "half-pots", the kind you fix to walls for hanging plants?...in perfect condition....those are $3.25 each at the store!)

    We made out like a bandit when one of our neighbors did that as well. At least 20 claypots of various sizes, a brand new suit that fits my dh perfectly, and a couple of large planters. Its amazing what people throw out.

    I dumpster dived today! There is a house nearby that they've been renovating - I didn't find anything that I could get to -they had it packed so tightly! But if I'd of been able....

    Anyway, great deal for you!!

    Thats great! I was able to take an abandoned table that my neighbors put out to trash. I wish they had left some pots, that would have been nice!
