Wasteful Redux

Following up on my prior article regarding conservation in the garden, I wanted to share some of these ideas with you.

“We take all of our used 4 inch pots and six packs, and drop them off at community gardens, or school gardens for seed germination” —Ben in Concord

“When waiting for my toddler's bath to warm, I collect the cold water, and use it for our plants outdoors.” —Heather in Oakland

“All excess food scraps, and plant material gets thrown in our compost bin, or the green bin. Between recycling, green bin, and compost, we have little to no garbage!” —Barbara in Berkeley

“I take all my used plastic containers and labels back to Berkeley Hort!” —(Hopefully Everyone)

Please keep sending your ideas on garden conservation. Living in the bay area, I believe we are leaders in conservation awareness. Hopefully we can make conservation the norm; turning principle into practice. Send your ideas to mail@berkeleyhort.com
