Why am I ECO FRIENDLY?

I have been conscious of the environment for many years, paying close attention to my CO2 contribution and garbage disposal.
I recycle and compost as much as I can, I use energy efficient bulbs and save water.
In the shop, all pure saw dust that is not contaminated, and small pieces of wood goes in the city compost bin. Cans, bottles, cardboard, paper and other are recycled. I give away local native plants to my clients when I have some extra. I use reclaimed materials as often as possible and encourage my friends and family to acknowledge they are part of this world and that we are all accountable. REMEMBER WE HAVE ONLY ABOUT TEN YEARS TO CHANGE OUR BEHAVIOR .

Water Efficient Planter





Raised to 38 inches to be easy to work with. 2 x 4 feet of planting area. Can hold 2 medium sized tomato plants and some lettuce/basil under them(or equal plants).


20 inches deep soil section supported by recycled pipes and a screwed on wire mesh. 6-8 inches of water collecting space. Water can be accessed by a small pipe connected to a hand pump to siphon it out.(red thing at the right of the planter).

Holds extra water to be recycled or re-watered. By doing this saves fertilizer. Roots can reach it.

Thanks to George for its help and improving ideas to build this version of it.
