Since yesterday was such a fabulous first day of spring I spent some time out in the garden clearing out the remains of last year's growth. I've been thinking about inexpensive ways to keep the weeds from growing between now and when it's time to plant (after Memorial Day).
I also have been looking for uses for cat food bags. I buy large bags of cat food,and the material for the bag is some kind of woven plastic material (like a tarp.) I want make a tote bag out of the stuff, but I can only use so many tote bags. I have a lot more cat food bags than I need.
I decided to try using the cat food bags as my weed barrier. I'm not sure how well they will hold up exposed to the elements. I may end up with a lot of little plastic flakes in my raised bed...
About Me
- Katie
- For as long as I can remember I have had an interest in building and creating - anything! In kindergarten I would keep my mom updated on the construction of a house my bus passed on the way to school. I can still tell you which house it was - now I pass it everyday on my way to work. I see things in stores, online, anywhere in the world around me and I think "I could make that." And so began my collection of hobbies. I see something worth making and I have to try...
