unconsumption: Brilliant! And a great addition to the “beverage carton-repurposing” idea file. Spotted on Facebook, on the Grow Food, Not Lawns community gardening page here. (If you’re aware of the original source, please tell us — I wasn’t able to track it down.) Other garden-related ideas can be found in earlier Unconsumption posts here and here.

legentis: craigslist houseshare ad: “i have a garden growing in my shower so you have to use eco-friendly hair products. you will see worms and other insects, and you will occasionally see a spider too but they all help out the ecosystem.” ok.

“Gardening with repurposed objects” is a recurring theme here on Gardens in Unexpected Places. Today, I’m pleased to add this item to the mix: a boombox garden.  A pretty good new use for a dead boombox, isn’t it? (spotted on EcoSalon)
