Wine Bottle Border Edging

Merlot? Cabernet Sauvignon? Shiraz? Edging material? Some creative folks at the local community garden I volunteer for think so. The process is fairly simple. Fill empty wine bottles with common sand. Dig the trench or edging hole deep enough to accommodate the height you wish your decorative border to be. Finally, drop in the bottles and push firmly in place. You may wish to use a stick, string or garden hose as a guide for the bottles. I personally would be worried about the bottles breaking, but they definitely get an "A" for originality.

The Unsung Weeding Tool

One of the most effective weeding tools I've discovered isn't for the garden at all... it's for carving wood or chipping paint! That's right folks - a wood chisel or paint scraper is as deadly as other weeding tools in my experience. It's especially effective for removing large weeds from your lawn as well. Before you start wreaking havoc on your crabgrass however, I must warn you - please wear thick padded gloves. If you're not careful, it'll give you a blister you won't forget for a few days. So, if you need to do some weeding, swing by the tool department instead.

Mmmm... Free Coffee Grounds For Your Plants!

I admit it – I'm a big Starbuck's Coffee fan. I've been going there for years. What I didn't know, however, was that I was sitting on a "soil gold mine" of sorts. I recently discovered that you can go in and ask them if they have any used coffee grounds. If they do, they will gladly hand them off to you... FOR FREE. Let me repeat that... FREE.

Cleaning Up Outer Space

The International Space Station (ISS) recently went on emergency footing as pieces of "space junk" from two satelites that collided earlier this year, threatened the lives of astronauts on board. 

Early Thursday morning on March 12th, 2009, the astronauts were ordered to abandon the US section of the station, lock hatches behind them and take shelter in the Russian Soyuz TMA-13 capsule.
