Reuse In Gardening

By on January 28, 2025

Last week, I mentioned I reuse used yogurt containers (cleaned, with holes punched in the bottoms) as seedling pots and I also reuse used rotisserie chicken trays (cleaned) as trays to hold those pots.

I do this to save money but also to get one more use out of the ‘garbage’ the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I create.

Gardening is a GREAT way to reduce waste.

We break down brown cardboard boxes for composting or place them on top of garden beds overwinter. We use the flyers made from newspapers to craft fast, easily biodegradable pots we can simply plop into the ground. Old pipes from the recent solar installation are being used as plant stakes. Juice jugs become watering jugs.

Of course, anything that can be composted (tree branches, leaves, bamboo forks, etc) is composted or buried in the ground for makeshift hügelkultur.

Every piece of garbage we create, we look at and ask ourselves if it can serve us in the garden (or in other areas of our lives). This is a small way we try to make a little bit of a difference.

Claiming Cure

A proud cyborg medic meets his human match.

***

Cyra has tasks to complete before she dies.

There are patients to heal, a dangerous mission to undertake, and a world to save. She doesn’t have time to entertain uninvited guests.

Especially one coldhearted cyborg medic who thinks he’s better than her.

The male might be breathtakingly handsome. His sternly set lips might be extremely kissable. And his touch might draw out a passion she didn’t think she was capable of feeling.

But he’s also a distraction, one that might doom millions of innocent beings to a painful, horrible death.

Cure isn’t emotionless. He feels…greatly. Listening to that malfunction has caused other beings pain and suffering in the past.

He refuses to allow his desires to cloud his judgment now.

His resolve is tested when he’s forced to associate with the most provoking, alluring medic in the universe.

Cyra is his genetic match, the one being in the universe he is fated to protect, touch, claim. She’s clever and beautiful, and the need to hold her almost downs his systems.

But now is not the time to indulge his great wanting.

Cure has an assignment to complete.

If he fails to accomplish his goals, everyone he cares for, including his human female, will die.
