Concerning recycling anything and everything into the garden.
Not sure the following would exactly apply.
I saved the plastic wands that come with miniblinds (these are used to
turn the blinds to open or closed) . Looked like perfectly good garden
sticks to me and being plastic won't break. I stuck one on each end of
my row of cucumbers last year , ran some sash cord( I don't know where
the ball of that came from) and trained my cuke vines to that. Worked.
Plastic garbage can lid became a pool for my birds. Laid it on the
ground and filled it with water. They didn't like the white birdbath on
its own pedestal.
