Let's make a difference! I need YOUR help! (Contest details and discussion)

[torilovessmiles]

It's official, this is going to be a contest!! Now I'm not completely sure how I should host this. I could have it as a BYC contest (I think?) or I could have it on social media (primarily twitter and instagram).
Perhaps I could make a facebook page, but I don't think it'd have many people following it very fast making it difficult to get attention to it.
If you guys were to enter this competition, how would you want it done?

I just made a FB page for my blog that I'll be using to promote the project

Love these!!
I just planted some seeds in rinsed-off Styrofoam cups. Hey, works right?
I'm also planting some in eggshells!

The roots may not break through the egg shells, if they don't you'll need to help them or they will end up root bound.

I will poke holes in the bottom for drainage, and probably remove them for transplanting. I just thought it would be a cool, environmentally friendly way to start the plants indoors, rather than using plastic containers.

Okay here's my first tire creation

@torilovessmiles tire looks great! I was going to do that but I don't have enough ashes yet so it went in a smaller tub for now, but soon.
My neighbor just brought me a ton of egg cartons and asked if I kept my empty feed bags. Well, of course I do. She is going to make reusable bags from them and I get some too.

I keep all of my feed bags too! They're great for storing things like manure and corn cobs since they breathe!

Great info, thanks! (about the feed bags)
