Wood Seed Starter Boxes

My husband came up with these great seed starter boxes made from natural wood, they are an alternative to the usual plastic sectioned seedling trays. They have drainage slats in the bottom and should last for years.
Another way to say NO to plastic and keep it out of the landfills.
These are also available to purchase. For ordering info email littleladsbasket@yahoo.com

Give up bottled water - for good


Drink from a glass at home, take your own reusable jug or bottle to the gym, and encourage your office to get a water filter or a water service. Americans throw out over 40 million plastic bottles each year and over 80% end up in landfills. If everyone on your block stopped using bottled water you could probably cut out 5000 bottles each year.
