Dear Tipnut;
Love your tips. I used an old WOOL sweater, instead of buying wool yarn, to make my dryer ball. Just tye it with string and felt it as you would a yarn ball. It works great and saves me money.
ALSO
After suffering through years of deer, rabbit, groundhog, etc, dammage to my outdoor yard garden, I purchased a childs 24″ high swimming pool. It is on the deck of my house, 8 feet off the ground. I filled it first with a few drainage holes, then a couple inches of river bottom gravel, washed well. Next several bags of potting soil, well mixed with with equal parts of vermiculite and perilite. I use your trick of pipe to water my plants, except I used a large2″ iron pipe and insert the garden hose into it . The iron pipe sets on a section of cinder block. The top is covered with Black plastic which is weighted so it is streched tight across the top. The plants are inserted into holes in the plastic top. I mix Miracle Grow into a water can of water once a week. It has been growing wonderful tomatoes, cucumbers, beans , radishes , etc. for 4 years and I will plant it again this year.

Great ideas! We use the bottom half of used milk jugs filled with starter soil to grow our seedlings in, and then transfer them to our square foot garden. Over time, I would like to try to grow tomatoes in some of these “creative containers” because they just take up so much room in the garden box.
