Yankee Magazine's PANTY HOSE, HOT PEPPERS, TEA BAGS, AND MORE FOR THE GARDEN. A Rodale Organic Gardening Book. 1001 Ingenious Ways to use Common Household Items to control Weeds, beat Pests, Cook Compost, Solve Problems, Make Tricky Jobs Easy, and Save Time. Monica Brandies is one of nine of the nation’s most frugal, inventive, and recycling garden writers who worked together under editor Veronica Lorson Fowler to produce this unique, fascinating, money-and-plant-saving book. While gardening has always been fun, productive, and inexpensive, this books carries all of those ideas to new dimensions. Some of her contributions include directions on solarizing the soil using dry-cleaning bags or a clear plastic drop cloth or old shower curtain to harness the power of the sun; using old Styrofoam coolers, wooden boxes, or drawers stacked four or five tall at angles to make a vertical garden; turning an old colander into a hanging basket; reusing a coffee can to check a lawn for chinch bugs, and how to use wood ashes in the garden.
