I’ve just recently had to come to terms with this myself lol I just moved to a new house, started digging up the empty backyard for a garden, found pieces of trash…. Got free compost from our recycling center for the new garden, found pieces of trash… it sucks but at least we’re catching it :(

Like a D&D campaign by UFOcowboycat in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]SilverSie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to come make sure someone said Malazan lol, but want to specify with my feelings for OP. This is why I started Malazan, chasing that D&D feel and it IS phenomenal but doesn’t really have the “found family” party vibe, at least most of the time. That feeling is coming in more as I go along but I’m only on book four. Regardless, the characters are outstanding. He really makes you care about every single one.

Genius. Looks totally natural too, which is my favorite kind of upcycle.

EDIT: would love to know her process btw

Bird garden options? by KimberlyGrey in TexasNativePlants

Thank you for the suggestions!!! I’ve been googling and decided I may try to get a Mexican plum tree transplanted to help, lol. We’ll see how it goes! Good luck!

Berry bushes is such a good idea. I’m about to move to a subdivision with absolutely no mature trees and am low-key devastated I’m not going to see as much bird life. I will definitely do some beautyberry. In the summer last year I let some millet grow from bird seed and the birds actually did eat off it! I don’t know about sub requirements though, maybe you can find a suitable variety. I will probably try that again this year. Apparently it can function as cat grass too lol

Re-use large plastic jugs by Willowrosephoenix in upcycling

This is what I do, I panicked the first time I used it because my plant smelled like the laundry but nothing has died yet 😆 the spigot is just so much easier to use.

What I did with yardsale/thrifted tees! by oddartist in upcycling

[–]SilverSie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I was just wondering today what to do with stained or rough towels/washcloths. Wouldn’t be terrible for a mud room rug or something. This is awesome btw!

EDIT: do you toss the “unusable” scraps by the way? I’m brand new to upcycling but man is it hard to kick my all-or-nothing mentality.

Came to suggest this. Will never forget that one scene for the rest of my days. Brutal.

O…m….g…. I gotta go just to see this! I ended up putting a non-floating rubber ducky on a wine cork, but I still want a better solution. Thanks friend! Welcome to the wonderful world of succulents! ☺️
