I'm a big fan of recycling. My yard is organic, no need for pesticides, nature takes over, and it works fine! I also go around my neighborhood and find things people are throwing out (you know, someone's trash is another's treasure) I once found someone tossed a little old dresser, it was antique! I brought it home stripped the paint, and got a nice oak piece of furniture with the original brass hardware! I have used tile from previous projects, am saving for the greenhouse floor this summer.. I love it.
