(revdarkwater and Nimue are on vacation with her family in the coastal Carolinas, but before they left home, they chose some items to “shed ahead.”)
I’ve saved a few bedding plant trays and pots for re-use in starting garden plants from seed, but I need only so many.* They can’t possibly be multiplying, can they? No … I know the flats contained transplants distributed by our Community Garden Network. The 4- and 6-cell packs held vegetables a friend bought but couldn’t get into the ground, so he gave them to me. The pots came with flowers Nimue bought. Fortunately, the garden center at our local big-box home improvement warehouse takes them all for recycling. It’s just a three-mile tandem ride away!

shedding style: recycle
destination: garden center
*Inspired by the Snail of Happiness, I’m transitioning away from re-using the plastic to making starter pots of toilet paper roll tubes.
Comments welcome … do you think recycling is good, but would pay more for usefully re-usable or biodegradable packaging if you had the choice?
