RECYCLING...

when i first started container gardening adventure, the main point was to try to use recycled material as much as possible...so far i've kept a lot of used cooking oil containers, mineral water bottles etc...but a few weeks ago, this guy managed to make me laugh smile at his creativity...;)


 Yes, he's using used toilet tank as pots for those plants....i was laffing but at the same time i was amazed that he could think of using those tanks as a potting medium...;)
