COLLECT ALL THE HARD PLASTIC KIDDIE SWIMMING POOLS YOU CAN FIND ON THE TRASH in alleys or curbside and make GORGEOUS GARDENS.
Then, you got a roof on top of your apartment building? A nearby Vacant
lot? Does the entire neighborhood consider that vacant lot that's been
for sale an eyesore? Well, it's sure not going to sell now, during a recession
as the DOLLAR HAS
TANKED, ditto the REAL ESTATE MARKET so circulate a xeroxed ANNOUNCEMENT
to every house on your street. "Let's TURN THE VACANT LOT into A COMMUNITY
GARDEN. COLLECT HARD PLASTIC WADING POOLS & Start your compost pile
now!
Those hard plastic Kiddie Wading pools can be placed in any areas that
could not be gardened conventionally, such as rooftops, patios, decks,
sections of playgrounds, along railroad tracks, or in nearby hardsoil,
parched, brown fields.
The wading pools are lightweight (before they are filled with soil),
easy to situate, and last for many years
without decay. If you do them on earth, use a red hot knife to
make some holes for drainage. Some seepage of excess liquid must occur
or the earth gets rancid, sour.
Wading pools provide an opportunity to grow food in areas where there
is soil contamination or where there is
limited or no land available for growing a garden. In THE
URLS found in this article, you will find complete instructions on starting
a container garden in your neighborhood:
