Recycling has also been an integral part of our garden development. Not only clippings and scraps for the chooks and compost, but finding new ways to use things that’s others might throw out. For example, some old half wine barrels that were used as garden tables were recycled as “pots” when the tops rotted out. We filled them with soil and grew spuds and flowers in them. We love Council Clean-ups, as you never know what you’ll find or what we will think of to do with it. Our garden features old ladders, plough discs, wrought iron railings, rusty wheels and an antique chimney doubling as a plant stand. We are limited only by our imagination.
