My spouse has many plantings around our several acres. When he plants something new that needs a steady supply of surface water, due to shallow roots, he sometimes uses a 2 liter soda bottle. He cuts small holes in bottom, fills with water and places it next to the baby plant to drip irrigate it. Two liter soda bottles.

Did you know that Fry’s actually brings in milk from local dairy farms and uses their own manufacturing plants? Milk with fewer than nine days of freshness remaining on the code should be donated to local food banks. We took our boys to several dairy farm tours last year and that was one of the nice surprises that I learned.

If I could spend it without strings, I might just donate it to a food pantry. We’re not good gardeners but we planted a lot of trees for the shade and beauty. I have to be careful not to earn to much as we need to maintain certain limits to qualify for college grants and funding. So if it’s income, I would turn it down.
