A vintage suite case gets a new life as a pet bed!

By taking an old suitcase...and several other scraps from the house....I made a comfy little spot for my dirty little dog to lounge on. I love recycling anything that really can't be used for it's original purposes anymore #Bestof2012 #keepingcozy #recycle

I will have to try this!:

I will have to try this!: Pinner:Baking soda neutralizes the ph in the soil and nothing will grow there. I use baking soda in a 6" wide area around all of the edges of my flower beds to keep the grass and weeds from growing into my beds. Just sprinkle it onto the soil so that it covers it lightly. I usually have to do this twice a year - spring and fall.

  • This was before we put a new septic system in 5 years ago. 6
  • The entire view from the house was only long, sloping hillside, overgrown with weeds and burr dogs. 3
  • The new septic system required a 48 feet long, 12 feet deep and 8 feet wide leach field to be according to code. 2

Transforming A Wilderness Into A Garden

We live in Ouray Colorado amidst a very shady, wooded area in a canyon. It was not an easy feat. It took me 5 years to establish.
