Have you used recycled glass mulch.
Comments (14)Eric, Yes, I am very familiar with bottle trees. And, yes, I have one in my south side whimsy passage garden, bottles stuck on branch stubs on a large cedar tree. Maro, you should know that this isolated garden in my yard was landscaped to be entirely whimsical. Sorry, I prefer not to post pictures of my creations. But, my little 'play' area sold our house the day it was listed. I prefer to call it high class whimsy done with beautiful wood shapes and topiaries. The realtor told me that the couple looking at the property spent about 30 minutes studying all my whimsy and decided that they had to have it all. And so they shall. To be authentic, only blue bottles should be used for bottle trees. The voodoo/Gullah believe that the color blue keeps away the 'haints'. Bottle trees are displayed in the front yard and house doors, shutters are also painted blue. It must work because I have not seen any spirits floating about. Due to the constant heavy pine needle drop we have here I have never used glass mulch. I remember some interesting ideas Mich posted. Open areas with little leaf litter invite playing with glass. After all, you do not need to mulch everything in your yard with it....See Moretile top patio table

Comments (4)It would be great to put a pot into the hole and plant it. But that may be way too big a top. Maybe put it around a large bush that needs support and hang things from the metal rim where the glass was. Maybe even turn it upside down and use it that way. It would support a big pot with the bigger base. Unless it was one that had 4 legs instead of a center support. think I will stop before I get out of hand....See MoreRecycling can be fun
Comments (11)Welcome back, Anj, good to see you posting again. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who just hates to throw away nice jars. I even reluctanly part with the cans--especially the few that have that pretty white interior--because I know they can be really cute painted up as well. But too much of a good thing just becomes clutter if you know what I mean. Yesterday, I made a quick stop at a TS. Actually I was surprized to see it was open--thought most were closed on Sundays. Anyway, there was a really cute little jug that someone had painted a little snow scence all the way around the bottom. I admired the handiwork for awhile, but left it there for someone else since I didn't really NEED it! Just goes to show that there are lots of options besides a piece of wood to paint on and it is fun to know you've saved something from the landfill. Luvs...See Morediggery
