Trash To Treasure

I spend a lot on my garden. City water is the biggest thing I pay for, followed closely by plants. I could spend a heck of a lot more, but I’m a dumpster diver at heart. The other day I was coming home, from dropping my youngest at school, and I saw this sink in someone’s trash.

I stopped, got out and snagged it. I wanted a sink and “free” is always my favorite. Why did I want a sink? I grow a lot of vegetables that come in covered in dirt. If you have gardened for any amount of time you probably know that soil and rocks in your kitchen sink is a bad idea.

So. Now I have an outdoor sink. I’ll get a strainer for the drains (so the vegetables don’t fall through) and a couple of buckets from lowes to catch the water and redistribute it to thirsty plants. I always have cinder blocks, so that’s what I set this on. Yay for free solutions!

See you out in the garden to rinse off our produce!

  1. Splendid! Trendy lavish outdoor kitchens are designed more for showing off than to be functional. I find them annoying. Clients sometimes show me how many refrigerators they have in different locations within such extensive kitchens, and how many different ways their so-called barbecues can cook, as if any of them actually know how to start a fire with actual wood. I do like a simple outdoor kitchen, but only because I actually have use for one. I prefer to do my canning outside, to keep the mess out there.
