Ideas to help the environment: Just replaced my Rav4 with a Prius;
we have a mantra at our house "try to use all things two times" so when we
wash lettuce we save the water for the shrubs, whenever we need to wash
anything off with a hose we do it over the driest part of the yard; all wood
or stone from landscape projects become new projects -- break up small
pieces of flagstone and use them to help the flower pots drain; use pieces
of 4x4 to raise up the pots on the deck; make a potting bench out of a
mixture of all the left over wood and don't worry that they don't match.
