Clay Recipe - Take 1

I tried out a clay recipe and ran into some problems. No worries - I patched them up and painted them. To make these clay medallions I rolled out the clay and used a cotton doily to make the impressions.

Something for Nothing! Build Raised Planting Beds for Free!

Who says you can't get something for nothing? I just finished two raised beds made from my neighbor's old shutters and odds and ends of left over wood, then painted them with surplus deck ...»
paint! ZERO COST!!

For quite a while, I have admired all sorts of wonderful homemade and commercial raised beds seen on Pinterest and Hometalk. Because I couldn't justify the cost of buying the lumber and didn't want to tackle disassembling pallets, raised beds did not seem to be in my future. But then, our neighbors replaced their shutters and were nice enough to give them to me when I asked. They know by now that a repurposing project is about to get underway.

You could do other configurations, but I used two shutters on each side and one-half a shutter for the ends. That used up all ten of the free shutters. Odds and ends of lumber stored in the garage rafters came down and became corner, end and middle supports. I even had enough wood screws from another project to use for this one!

    I use papers to line the new flower beds as I go. I really dont like lanscape cloth. If you ...»
    use thick layers of paper, then dampen it, then put the dirt, you can poke right through it, well, easier than with dry paper. I used dry the first time. Had to be so careful as it disturbed everything because trying to poke through it justpulled the paper along in one large piece, frustrating but didnt even occur to me to wet it,lol. It works pretty well. That original bed has been in for 3 summers and I only have the occasional weed poking through here and there. I also mulch pretty heavly with a pretty red mulch. We will see this summer how well it works in aveggiegarden. Love the repurposing fir your raised beds. Doing things as cheaply as possiby is one big reason people try to be self reliant and garden in the furst place isnt it? Yeah for yu and your creativity.

  • How many times have you thrown food away because it spoiled before you ate it?
  • We changed our approach to food and have stretched our savings and food stores by using these few tricks.
  • Buying nuts in bulk is cheaper, but you don't want them to go back.  Separate them into air tight containers until you're ready to use them.
  • We freeze our own beans!  We soak them and divide them into meal size servings and lay them flat to freeze.
  • We portion our meats and freeze them.
  • Just make sure to label the freezer bag with the date and remove as much air as possible.
  • We do this for all our meats - chicken, ground beef, ground turkey, pork loin steaks. 3
  • TIP! Save all your chicken scraps, skin and bones, as well as any vegetable scraps.  I store them in a freezer bag and once the bag is full, I slow cook the scraps into a broth.  I let the broth cool and skim the fat, then store it!
  • For portion control, freeze your cookie dough. We fly through a batch of cookies in a few days.  Roll the dough into small balls and freeze them.
  • Transfer them to a freezer bag with the baking instructions on the outside.  Only take out the number of cookies you want to eat.
  • We make our own granola.  It's so easy, just find your favorite recipe and make. Much cheaper than store bought without all the preservatives. 1
  • One of our biggest money savers is making our own pizza.  We buy frozen dough in bulk.  We've made our own pizza sauce, too.  Each pizza comes to about $2.75! 1
  • Making your own bread may be daunting, but it's really quite easy.  One recipe we use makes two loaves.
