Re: Keep Deer out of garden
Hi All! I live about 1/2 hour...

Don't Throw It Away!

fb_11_26_slot1Here are some easy and useful ways to reuse and recycle!

Coffee Cans
Empty coffee cans (1 lb.) make great:
  • Storage places for nails, screws, and small tools (write contents on plastic lid).
  • Outdoor citronella candles. Place candle in can and light. When not in use, let candle cool then top with plastic lid.
  • Baking pans. Bake breads (pumpkin, banana, etc.) in can. Good size and if you decorate the can, it can serve as a great gift.
  • Fundraisers. Decorate empty coffee cans and fill with cookies/brownies. Sell at bake sales and other fund-raising events.
Spice Jars
  • Empty spice jars that have perforated inner lids can be reused for your own cinnamon and sugar mixture; cornstarch or flour for making gravy; or dispensing sprinkles.
Empty Jelly Or Honey Jars
  • Great jars for homemade salad dressings, homemade mustards, and homemade candy. The fancier they are the better.
Large Clear Jars
  • Good food keepers, especially in the refrigerator. Make it easy to see what’s in there!
Wrapping Paper Cardboard Tubes
  • Wrap your holiday lights around empty tubes. Prevents tangling—easy storage.
Empty Paper Towel Tubes
  • Use to store tongs in drawers. Keeps tongs closed, so they take up less room.
Plastic Milk Containers
  • Store sugar. Easy to pour and sugar won’t lump.
  • Fill with rice, small pasta, dried beans, used lemons (yes, used lemons).
  • Save partly used lemons, put them in your dishwater. They make the water, dishes and your hands smell good. Also cut grease.
