There's a lot of recycling going on in this photo. The hot caps are a winter's worth of milk jugs and cat litter containers I stowed in my shed. I can't tell you what a relief it is to finally put them to use so I don't look like a hoarder. Leaf mulch was recycled from sycamore leaves left on the front lawn last fall by the neighbor's trees. Some of the garden edging was bought for $5 at a thrift shop. And the broccoli & cauliflower under the caps were grown in pots and flats saved from plants I bought at a nursery three years ago. So my capital input here is the cost of seed, edging and the gas it took to run the mower while chopping the leaves. Also in this bed: three sections of beets, one section of Spanish garlic and a big bed of lettuce that needs thinning.
