I love that idea! Also, if they aren’t quite broken down enough to be composted by the end of the year, they can be cut into smaller sections and used as mulch…

Doesn’t the Dollarama have bamboo placemats and beach mats that would fit?

This is just what I needed! I have a stash of old ugly pots scheduled to hold my tomatoes this year. PERFECT! Thanks for the great cheap idea!

Nicole: Thanks! Good to know the name of the gardener.

Yvette: I generally avoid that question, at least when it comes to how I do things because my gardens have shifted over the years to become more about experimenting than prettification or personal interest. They are more an expression of what I am setting out to learn and experiment with that year than personal taste or preference. So consequently how I plan my gardens is a little different than if I were gardening strictly for me. That said I still do take everything you mentioned into consideration… it’s just that the outcome is a little different than if I was just growing gardens based on what I like as opposed to what I want to learn and experience.

Thanks for the pointers! Would it be ok for me to use these pics (credited of course) to help convince my landlord to let me grow stuff on the roof of my apartment building?
