I love #11 about the coffee grounds. I can totally see myself doing this and usually have plenty of coffee grounds in the pantry. I always water my plants at night too.

Using the water from steaming my veggies… that’s a great idea! I already compost and stop by my Starbucks on a regular basis. Most of the tea I drink has compostable bags or it is just loose leaf. I will share one of my favorite websites myeasygardening.com. I like their landscaping and organic sections. The most frugal gardening I do is to be sure to purchase plants that I know grow well in my yard… I look to see what is growing well in my neighbors yard and then ask what it is… sometimes they offer to share!

Michelle: That’s true. I didn’t think about the water from mashed potatoes. I did steam some cabbage tonight and I’m saving the water from the steamer.

Well like when you boil your mashed potatoes use that water and maybe corn on the cob. I have never heard of the bath water. The human hair I heard from gardners that have trouble with critter eating thier veggies when they smell the scent they take off.

Michelle: I’ve also heard of saving water from boiled vegetables. I don’t boil many vegetables though. I’m sure you could save the water from boiled noodles too.

I’ve never heard of using human hair. That does sound gross! lol
