    good out of old refrigerators, and SO do the slide out plastic ones for other odds and ends, packets, etc! Try freecycle.com or looking for a place that recycles metal appliances and asking if you can have them if they are nice they will give them away, it wouldn't hurt offering them a few bucks if they say no because usually they just throw the plastic away and possibly the baskets too. :)

  • Keep out the cold and the critters with a cover on your raised garden bend.
  • We used PVC pipe in 2 sizes, clamps and plastics sheeting.
  • We attached the plastic along one 8′ side with nails and a thin strip of wood. Pull plastic over supports and secure with heavy stones or large pieces of wood to prevent it from blowing off.

  • DIY Garden Head project 2
  • I started with a foam mannequin head, Magikote Foam Primer and Stone Metallic Spray Paint by Krylon. I named my head Betty.
  • Betty got two thin coats of primer. The primer seals the foam and creates a smooth surface to paint on.
  • I set Betty on top of an empty wine bottle filled with pebbles for drying.
  • Betty also got several coats of Metallic Stone paint. It was easy to paint her while she was sitting on the bottle. I liked her on the bottle so much I decided to keep her there.
  • When she was dry, I used a compass to draw a 6" circle on the top of her head. I hollowed out the planting cavity with a kitchen knife and made a hole for drainage. Then I planted her with a trailing succulent I found at Home Depot.
  • I added Betty's "Bling" with some old necklaces, glasses and even some rhinestone earrings (they were easy to stick into the side of her head). Betty was born! She sits on top of the buffet in my dining room. Thanks for reading! 3
